The paper deals with two families of operators with point interactions, \(D_{X,\alpha}\) and \(D_{X,\beta}\), which are relativistic counterparts of the Schrödinger operators with potentials being the sum of the Dirac delta-functions or the sum of derivatives of delta-functions. Namely, the differential expression, which is \(-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}\) in the case of the Schrödinger operators, is replaced by the matrix Dirac differential expression. The spectral properties (criteria for self-adjointness, discreteness of the spectra, characterization of continuous, absolutely continuous, and singular parts of the spectra, etc.) of the Gesztesy-Seba (GS) realizations \(D_{X,\alpha}\) and \(D_{X,\beta}\) and, more generally, of the GS-realizations of a general Dirac operator \(D+Q\) with \(2\times 2\) matrix potential \(Q=Q^*\) are studied. The method is based on using the technique of boundary triplets and the corresponding Weyl functions. One of the main elements of the approach is the abstract version of the Green formula for the adjoint of a symmetric operator. It is shown that the spectral properties of \(D_{X,\alpha}\) and \(D_{X,\beta}\) correlate with the corresponding spectral properties of certain Jacobi matrices, which are the boundary operators parametrizing \(D_{X,\alpha}\) and \(D_{X,\beta}\). Also, the non-relativistic limit is investigated.
