Curvature contribution to the essential spectrum of Dirac operators with critical shell interactions. (English) Zbl 1534.35342
Summary: We discuss the spectral properties of three-dimensional Dirac operators with critical combinations of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar shell interactions supported by a compact smooth surface. It turns out that the criticality of the interaction may result in a new interval of essential spectrum. The position and the length of the interval are explicitly controlled by the coupling constants and the principal curvatures of the surface. This effect is completely new compared to lower-dimensional critical situations or special geometries considered up to now, in which only a single new point in the essential spectrum was observed.
