In this paper the spectral and scattering properties of a family of self-adjoint Dirac operators in $L^2(Omega; mathbb{C}^4)$, where $Omega subset mathbb{R}^3$ is either a bounded or an unbounded domain with a compact $C^2$-smooth boundary, are studied in a systematic way. These operators can be viewed as the natural relativistic counterpart of Laplacians with Robin boundary conditions. Among the Dirac operators treated here is also the so-called MIT bag operator, which has been used by physicists and more recently was discussed in the mathematical literature. Our approach is based on abstract boundary triple techniques from extension theory of symmetric operators and a thorough study of certain classes of (boundary) integral operators, that appear in a Krein-type resolvent formula. The analysis of the perturbation term in this formula leads to a description of the spectrum and a Birman-Schwinger principle, a qualitative understanding of the scattering properties in the case that $Omega$ is unbounded, and corresponding trace formulas.

In this article Dirac operators $A_{eta, tau}$ coupled with combinations of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $delta$-shell interactions of constant strength $eta$ and $tau$, respectively, supported on compact surfaces $Sigma subset mathbb{R}^3$ are studied. In the rigorous definition of these operators the $delta$-potentials are modelled by coupling conditions at $Sigma$. In the proof of the self-adjointness of $A_{eta, tau}$ a Krein-type resolvent formula and a Birman-Schwinger principle are obtained. With their help a detailed study of the qualitative spectral properties of $A_{eta, tau}$ is possible. In particular, the essential spectrum of $A_{eta, tau}$ is determined, it is shown that at most finitely many discrete eigenvalues can appear, and several symmetry relations in the point spectrum are obtained. Moreover, the nonrelativistic limit of $A_{eta, tau}$ is computed and it is discussed that for some special interaction strengths $A_{eta, tau}$ is decoupled to two operators acting in the domains with the common boundary $Sigma$.
We prove the absence of eigenvaues of the three-dimensional Dirac operator with non-Hermitian potentials in unbounded regions of the complex plane under smallness conditions on the potentials in Lebesgue spaces. Our sufficient conditions are quantitative and easily checkable.
This note aims to give prominence to some new results on the absence and localization of eigenvalues for the Dirac and Klein-Gordon operators, starting from known resolvent estimates already established in the literature combined with the renowned Birman-Schwinger principle.
We investigate spectral features of the Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain of $mathbb{R}^2$. Motivated by spectral geometric inequalities, we prove a non-linear variational formulation to characterize its principal eigenvalue. This characterization turns out to be very robust and allows for a simple proof of a Szego type inequality as well as a new reformulation of a Faber-Krahn type inequality for this operator. The paper is complemented with strong numerical evidences supporting the existence of a Faber-Krahn type inequality.
Let $Omega_-$ and $Omega_+$ be two bounded smooth domains in $mathbb{R}^n$, $nge 2$, separated by a hypersurface $Sigma$. For $mu>0$, consider the function $h_mu=1_{Omega_-}-mu 1_{Omega_+}$. We discuss self-adjoint realizations of the operator $L_{mu}=- ablacdot h_mu abla$ in $L^2(Omega_-cupOmega_+)$ with the Dirichlet condition at the exterior boundary. We show that $L_mu$ is always essentially self-adjoint on the natural domain (corresponding to transmission-type boundary conditions at the interface $Sigma$) and study some properties of its unique self-adjoint extension $mathcal{L}_mu:=overline{L_mu}$. If $mu e 1$, then $mathcal{L}_mu$ simply coincides with $L_mu$ and has compact resolvent. If $n=2$, then $mathcal{L}_1$ has a non-empty essential spectrum, $sigma_mathrm{ess}(mathcal{L}_{1})={0}$. If $nge 3$, the spectral properties of $mathcal{L}_1$ depend on the geometry of $Sigma$. In particular, it has compact resolvent if $Sigma$ is the union of disjoint strictly convex hypersurfaces, but can have a non-empty essential spectrum if a part of $Sigma$ is flat. Our construction features the method of boundary triplets, and the problem is reduced to finding the self-adjoint extensions of a pseudodifferential operator on $Sigma$. We discuss some links between the resulting self-adjoint operator $mathcal{L}_mu$ and some effects observed in negative-index materials.
