Abstract
We prove that the two-dimensional Brown–Ravenhall operator is bounded from below when the coupling constant is below a specified critical value—a property also referred to as stability. As a consequence, the operator is then self-adjoint. The proof is based on the strategy followed by Evans et al. and Lieb and Yau, with some relevant changes characteristic of the dimension. Our analysis also yields a sharp Kato inequality.
