Self-adjointness of two-dimensional Dirac operators on corner domains (Q2078205): Difference between revisions

Summary: We investigate the self-adjointness of the two-dimensional Dirac operator \(D\), with \textit{quantum-dot} and \textit{Lorentz-scalar \(\delta\)-shell} boundary conditions, on piecewise \(C^2\) domains (with finitely many corners). For both models, we prove the existence of a unique self-adjoint realization whose domain is included in the Sobolev space \(H^{1/2}\), the formal form domain of the free Dirac operator. The main part of our paper consists of a description of the domain of the adjoint operator \(D^\ast\) in terms of the domain of \(D\) and the set of harmonic functions that verify some \(mixed\) boundary conditions. Then, we give a detailed study of the problem on an infinite sector, where explicit computations can be made: we find the self-adjoint extensions for this case. The result is then translated to general domains by a coordinate transformation.
