To the Spectral Theory of One-Dimensional Matrix Dirac Operators with Point Matrix Interactions

Resumo

We investigate one-dimensional (2p × 2p)-matrix Dirac operators D_X,α and D_X,β with point matrix interactions on a discrete set X. Several results of [4] are generalized to the case of (p × p)-matrix interactions with p > 1. It is shown that a number of properties of the operators D_X,α and D_X,β (self-adjointness, discreteness of the spectrum, etc.) are identical to the corresponding properties of some Jacobi matrices B_X,α and B_X,β with (p × p)-matrix entries. The relationship found is used to describe these properties as well as conditions of continuity and absolute continuity of the spectra of the operators D_X,α and D_X,β. Also the non-relativistic limit at the velocity of light c → ∞ is studied.
