Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interaction and accounts for the internal structure of hadrons. Physicists introduced phe- nomenological models such as the M.I.T. bag model, the bag approximation and the soliton bag model to study the hadronic properties. We prove, in this paper, the existence of excited state solutions in the symmetric case and of a ground state solution in the non-symmetric case for the soliton bag and the bag approximation models thanks to the concentration compactness method. We show that the energy functionals of the bag approximation model are Gamma -limits of sequences of soliton bag model energy functionals for the ground and excited state problems. The pre- compactness, up to translation, of the sequence of ground state solutions associated with the soliton bag energy functionals in the non-symmetric case is obtained combining the Gamma -convergence theory and the concentration-compactness method. Finally, we give a rigorous proof of the original derivation of the M.I.T. bag equations done by Chodos, Jaffe, Johnson, Thorn and Weisskopf via a limit of bag approximation ground state solutions in the spherical case. The supersymmetry property of the Dirac operator is the key point in many of our arguments.

We study spectral properties of Dirac operators on bounded domains $Omega subset mathbb{R}^3$ with boundary conditions of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar type and which depend on a parameter $tauinmathbb{R}$; the case $tau = 0$ corresponds to the MIT bag model. We show that the eigenvalues are parametrized as increasing functions of $tau$, and we exploit this monotonicity to study the limits as $tau to pm infty$. We prove that if $Omega$ is not a ball then the first positive eigenvalue is greater than the one of a ball with the same volume for all $tau$ large enough. Moreover, we show that the first positive eigenvalue converges to the mass of the particle as $tau downarrow -infty$, and we also analyze its first order asymptotics.
The Dirac operator, acting in three dimensions, is considered. Assuming that a large mass $m>0$ lies outside a smooth and bounded open set $OmegasubsetR^3$, it is proved that its spectrum is approximated by the one of the Dirac operator on $Omega$ with the MIT bag boundary condition. The approximation, which is developed up to and error of order $o(1/sqrt m)$, is carried out by introducing tubular coordinates in a neighborhood of $partialOmega$ and analyzing the corresponding one dimensional optimization problems in the normal direction.
In this work we study Dirac operators on two-dimensional domains coupled to a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. We focus on the infinite-mass boundary condition (also called MIT bag condition). In the case of bounded domains, we establish the asymptotic behavior of the low-lying (positive and negative) energies in the limit of strong magnetic field. Moreover, for a constant magnetic field $B$, we study the problem on the half-plane and find that the Dirac operator has continuous spectrum except for a gap of size $a_0sqrt{B}$, where $a_0in (0,sqrt{2})$ is a universal constant. Remarkably, this constant characterizes certain energies of the system in a bounded domain as well. We discuss how these findings, together with our previous work, give a fairly complete description of the eigenvalue asymptotics of magnetic two-dimensional Dirac operators under general boundary conditions.
A body of literature has developed concerning cloaking by anomalous localized resonance. The mathematical heart of the matter involves the behavior of a divergence-form elliptic equation in the plane, $ ablacdot (a(x) abla u(x)) = f(x)$. The complex-valued coefficient has a matrix-shell-core geometry, with real part equal to 1 in the matrix and the core, and -1 in the shell; one is interested in understanding the resonant behavior of the solution as the imaginary part of $a(x)$ decreases to zero (so that ellipticity is lost). Most analytical work in this area has relied on separation of variables, and has therefore been restricted to radial geometries. We introduce a new approach based on a pair of dual variational principles, and apply it to some non-radial examples. In our examples, as in the radial setting, the spatial location of the source $f$ plays a crucial role in determining whether or not resonance occurs.
We derive a family of ideal (nondissipative) 3D sound-proof fluid models that includes both the Lipps-Hemler anelastic approximation (AA) and the Durran pseudo-incompressible approximation (PIA). This family of models arises in the Euler-Poincar{e} framework involving a constrained Hamiltons principle expressed in the Eulerian fluid description. The derivation in this framework establishes the following properties of each member of the entire family: the Kelvin-Noether circulation theorem, conservation of potential vorticity on fluid parcels, a Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian formulation possessing conserved Casimirs, a conserved domain integrated energy and an associated variational principle satisfied by the equilibrium solutions. smallskip Having set the stage with the derivations of 3D models using the constrained Hamiltons principle, we then derive the corresponding 2D vertical slice models for these sound-proof theories.
