Abstract

We consider a two-dimensional massless Dirac operator coupled to a magnetic field BB and an electric potential VV growing at infinity. We find a characterization of the spectrum of the resulting operator HH in terms of the relation between BB and VV at infinity. In particular, we give a sharp condition for the discreteness of the spectrum of HH beyond which we find dense pure point spectrum.
