Abstract: We prove that limit-periodic Dirac operators generically have spectra of zero Lebesgue measure and that a dense set of them have spectra of zero Hausdorff dimension. The proof combines ideas of Avila from a Schr"odinger setting with a new commutation argument for generating open spectral gaps. This overcomes an obstacle previously observed in the literature; namely, in Schr"odinger-type settings, translation of the spectral measure corresponds to small $L^{i}nfty$-perturbations of the operator data, but this is not true for Dirac or CMV operators. The new argument is much more model-independent. To demonstrate this, we also apply the argument to prove generic zero-measure spectrum for CMV matrices with limit-periodic Verblunsky coefficients.
