We study the spectral properties of the two-dimensional Dirac operator on bounded domains together with the appropriate boundary conditions which provide a (continuous) model for graphene nanoribbons. These are of two types, namely, the so-called armchair and zigzag boundary conditions, depending on the line along which the material was cut. In the former case, we show that the spectrum behaves in what might be called a classical way; while in the latter, we prove the existence of a sequence of finite multiplicity eigenvalues converging to zero and which correspond to edge states.

We develop a spectral theory for the equation (∇ + ieA) × u = ±mu on Minkowski 3-space (one time variable and two space variables); here, A is a real vector potential and the vector product is defined with respect to the Minkowski metric. This equation was formulated by Elton and Vassiliev, who conjectured that it should have properties similar to those of the two-dimensional Dirac equation. Our equation contains a large parameter c (speed of light), and this motivates the study of the asymptotic behaviour of its spectrum as c → +∞. We show that the essential spectrum of our equation is the same as that of Dirac (theorem 3.1), whereas the discrete spectrum agrees with Dirac to a relative accuracy δλ/mc2 ~ O(c−4) (theorem 3.3). In other words, we show that our equation has the same accuracy as the two-dimensional Pauli equation, its advantage over Pauli being relativistic invariance.

This paper deals with the massive three-dimensional Dirac operator coupled with a Lorentz scalar shell interaction supported on a compact smooth surface. The rigorous definition of the operator involves suitable transmission conditions along the surface. After showing the self-adjointness of the resulting operator, we switch to the investigation of its spectral properties, in particular, to the existence and non-existence of eigenvalues. In the case of an attractive coupling, we study the eigenvalue asymptotics as the mass becomes large and show that the behavior of the individual eigenvalues and their total number are governed by an effective Schrödinger operator on the boundary with an external Yang–Mills potential and a curvature-induced potential.

Spectral properties of a special class of infinite dimensional Dirac operatorsQ(α)on the abstract boson-fermion Fock spaceℱ(ℋ,𝒦)associated with the pair(ℋ,𝒦)of complex Hilbert spaces are investigated, whereα∈Cis a perturbation parameter (a coupling constant in the context of physics) and the unperturbed operatorQ(0)is taken to be a free infinite dimensional Dirac operator. A variety of the kernel ofQ(α)is shown. It is proved that there are cases where, for all sufficiently large|α|withα<0,Q(α)has infinitely many nonzero eigenvalues even ifQ(0)has no nonzero eigenvalues. Also Fredholm property ofQ(α)restricted to a subspace ofℱ(ℋ,𝒦)is discussed.
