Self-adjointness and spectral properties of Dirac operators with magnetic links (Q1791737)

Unlike the studies in the literature, in this paper, the authors consider a Dirac operator on \(S^3\) (and \(\mathbb R^3\)) with magnetic fields supported on links. This \(S^3\) space guarantees that the Dirac operators have discrete spectrum. The authors investigate and prove the self-adjointness, the continuity properties and convergence and compactness results of the Dirac operators. Finally, when the magnetic link is a circle or a Hopf link, they obtain the kernel of the these operators.
