Dirac–Coulomb operators with infinite mass boundary conditions in sectors

Abstract

We investigate the properties of self-adjointness of a two-dimensional Dirac operator on an infinite sector with infinite mass boundary conditions and in the presence of a Coulomb-type potential with the singularity placed on the vertex. In the general case, we prove the appropriate Dirac–Hardy inequality and exploit the Kato–Rellich theory. In the explicit case of a Coulomb potential, we describe the self-adjoint extensions for all the intensities of the potential relying on a radial decomposition in partial wave subspaces adapted to the infinite-mass boundary conditions. Finally, we integrate our results, giving a description of the spectrum of these operators.
