We study the continuum limit for Dirac-Hodge operators defined on the $n$ dimensional square lattice $h\mathbb{Z}^n$ as $h$ goes to $0$. This result extends to a first order discrete differential operator the known convergence of discrete…
The two-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonian with equal scalar and vector potentials has been proved commuting with the deformed orbital angular momentum $L$. When the potential takes the Coulomb form, the system has an SO(3) symmetry, and…
We study the spectrum of a periodic non-self-adjoint Dirac operator, and its dependence on a semiclassical parameter is also considered. Several bounds on the spectrum are obtained which provide sharp spectral enclosure estimates.…

Spectral anomaly for interacting Fermions is characterized by the spectral function $A([k-k_F],\omega)$ satisfying the scaling relation $A(\Lambda^{y_1} [k-k_F],\Lambda^{y_2}\omega)= \Lambda^{y_A}A([k-k_F],\omega)$, where $y_1$, $y_2$, and…
We study the spectrum and dynamics of a one-dimensional discrete Dirac operator in a random potential obtained by damping an i.i.d. environment with an envelope of type $n^{-\alpha}$ for $\alpha>0$. We recover all the spectral regimes…
We find several new estimates for the spectral constants $K(\mathbb A_r)$ for which a closed annulus $\overline{\mathbb A}_r$ or closed polyannulus $\overline{\mathbb A}^n_r$ is a $K$-spectral set for operators in the quantum annulus…
A recent proposal suggests that even if a Ginsparg-Wilson lattice Dirac operator does not possess any topological zero modes in topologically-nontrivial gauge backgrounds, it can reproduce correct axial anomaly for sufficiently smooth gauge…
The paper deals with singular Schr\"odinger operators of the form \begin{gather*} -{\mathrm{d}^2\over \mathrm{d} x^2 } + \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z} }\gamma_k \delta(\cdot-z_k),\quad \gamma_k\in\mathbb{R}, \end{gather*} in…

We discuss abstract Birman-Schwinger principles to study spectra of self-adjoint operators subject to small non-self-adjoint perturbations in a factorised form. In particular, we extend and in part improve a classical result by Kato which…
The Dirac Hamiltonian with the Aharonov-Bohm potential provides an example of a non-Fredholm operator for which all spectral asymmetry comes entirely from the continuous spectrum. In this case one finds that the use of standard definitions…
We show that even if a lattice Dirac operator satisfies the conditions consisting of locality, free of species doublings, correct continuum behavior, $\gm5$-hermiticity and the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, it does not necessarily have exact…
We discuss spectral properties of the self-adjoint operator \[ -d^2/dt^2 + (t^{k+1}/(k+1)-\alpha)^2 \] in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ for odd integers $k$. We prove that the minimum over $\alpha$ of the ground state energy of this operator is…
