Klein’s paradox and the relativistic \(\delta\)-shell interaction in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). (English) Zbl 1508.81832

Summary: Under certain hypotheses of smallness on the regular potential \(\mathbf{V}\), we prove that the Dirac operator in \(\mathbb{R}^3\), coupled with a suitable rescaling of \(\mathbf{V}\), converges in the strong resolvent sense to the Hamiltonian coupled with a \(\delta\)-shell potential supported on \(\Sigma\), a bounded \(C^2\) surface. Nevertheless, the coupling constant depends nonlinearly on the potential \(\mathbf{V}\); Klein’s paradox comes into play.
