We obtain a dispersive long-time decay in weighted energy norms for solutions of the 1D Dirac equation with generic potential. The decay extends the results obtained by Jensen, Kato and Murata for the Schrödinger equations.
In this paper we prove that given a weakly almost periodic measure $μ$ supported inside some model set $Λ(W)$ with closed window $W$, then the strongly almost periodic component $μ_S$ and the null weakly almost periodic component $μ_0$ are both supported inside $Λ(W)$. As a consequence we prove that given any translation bounded measure $ω$, supported inside some model set, then each of the pure point diffraction spectrum $\hatγ_{pp}$ and the continuous diffraction spectrum $\hatγ_c$ is either trivial or have a relatively dense support.
The quantum weighted projective algebras $\mathbb{C}[\mathbb{WP}_{k,l,q}]$ are coinvariant subalgebras of the quantum group algebra $\mathbb{C}[SU_{q,2}]$. For each pair of indices $k,l$, two $2$-summable spectral triples will be constructed. The first one is an odd spectral triple based on coinvariant spinors on $\mathbb{C}[SU_{q,2}]$. The second one is an even spectral triple.
We prove the existence of exponentially accurate quasimodes using the square of the Dirac operator on the Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter spacetime and the Agmon estimates. We then deduce a logarithmic lower bound for the local energy decay of the Dirac propagator.
Given a one-dimensional weighted Dirac operator we can define a spectral measure by virtue of singular Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira theory. Using the theory of de Branges spaces we show that the spectral measure uniquely determines the Dirac operator up to a gauge transformation. Our result applies in particular to radial Dirac operators and extends the classical results for Dirac operators with one regular endpoint. Moreover, our result also improves the currently known results for canonical (Hamiltonian) systems. If one endpoint is limit circle case, we also establish corresponding two-spectra re…
We investigate the local energy decay of solutions of the Dirac equation in the non-extreme Kerr-Newman metric. First, we write the Dirac equation as a Cauchy problem and define the Dirac operator. It is shown that the Dirac operator is selfadjoint in a suitable Hilbert space. With the RAGE theorem, we show that for each particle its energy located in any compact region outside of the event horizon of the Kerr-Newman black hole decays in the time mean.
A class of translation bounded complex measures, which have the form of weighted Dirac combs, on locally compact Abelian groups is investigated. Given such a Dirac comb, we are interested in its diffraction spectrum which emerges as the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation measure. We present a sufficient set of conditions to ensure that the diffraction measure is a pure point measure. Simultaneously, we establish a natural link to the theory of the cut and project formalism and to the theory of almost periodic measures. Our conditions are general enough to cover the known theory of model …
The Maxwell-Dirac equations are the equations for electronic matter, the "classical" theory underlying QED. In this article we examine the stationary Maxwell-Dirac equations under weak regularity and decay assumptions. We prove that: There are no embedded eigenvalues in the essential spectrum, $-m\leq E\leq m$. If $|E|< m$ then the Dirac field components (and their derivatives) decay exponentially at spatial infinity. If $E|=m$ then the system is "asymptotically" static and decays exponentially if the total charge is non-zero.
We obtain a dispersive long-time decay in weighted norms for solutions of 3D Schroedinger equation with generic magnetic and scalar potentials. The decay extends the results obtained by Jensen and Kato for the Schroedinger equation without magentic potentials. For the proof we develop the spectral theory of Agmon, Jensen and Kato, extending the high energy decay of the resolvent to the magnetic Schroedinger equation.
We consider one-dimensional discrete Dirac models in vanishing random environments. In a previous work [6], we showed that these models exhibit a rich phase diagram in terms of their spectrum as a function of the rate of decay of the random potential. This article is devoted to their spectral statistics. We show that the rescaled spectrum converges to the clock process for fast decay and to the Schrödinger/Sine processes from random matrix theory for critical decay. This way, we recover all the regimes previously identified for the Anderson model in a similar context [25]. Poisson statistics, …
We prove weighted-$L^\infty$ and pointwise space-time decay estimates for weak solutions of a class of wave equations with time-independent potentials and subject to initial data, both of low regularity, satisfying given decay bounds at infinity. The rate of their decay depends on the asymptotic behaviour of the potential and of the data. The technique is robust enough to treat also more regular solutions and provides decay estimates for arbitrary derivatives, provided the potential and the data have sufficient regularity, but it is restricted to potentials of bounded strength (such that $-Δ-|…
We consider massive Dirac fields evolving in the exterior region of a 5-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole and study their propagation properties. Our main result states that the local energy of such fields decays in a weak sense at late times. We obtain this result in two steps: first, using the separability of the Dirac equation, we prove the absence of a pure point spectrum for the corresponding Dirac operator; second, using a new form of the equation adapted to the local rotations of the black hole, we show by a Mourre theory argument that the spectrum is absolutely continuous. This leads …
We consider the massive Dirac equation in the exterior region of the 5-dimensional Myers-Perry black hole. Using the resulting ODEs obtained from the separation of variables of the Dirac equation, we construct an integral spectral representation for the solution of the Cauchy problem with compactly supported smooth initial data. We then prove that the probability of presence of a Dirac particle to be in any compact region of space decays to zero as $t\to\infty$, in analogy with the case of the Dirac operator in the Kerr-Newman geometry.
A Dirac comb of point measures in Euclidean space with bounded complex weights that is supported on a lattice inherits certain general properties from the lattice structure. In particular, its autocorrelation admits a factorization into a continuous function and the uniform lattice Dirac comb, and its diffraction measure is periodic, with the dual lattice as lattice of periods. This statement remains true in the setting of a locally compact Abelian group that is also $σ$-compact.
We prove local smoothing and weighted Strichartz estimates for the Dirac equation with a Aharonov-Bohm potential. The proof relies on an explicit representation of the solution built in terms of spectral projections.
We prove sharp pointwise decay estimates for critical Dirac equations on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq 2$. They appear for instance in the study of critical Dirac equations on compact spin manifolds, describing blow-up profiles, and as effective equations in honeycomb structures. For the latter case, we find excited states with an explicit asymptotic behavior. Moreover, we provide some classification results both for ground states and for excited states.
The Cauchy problem is considered for the massive Dirac equation in the non-extreme Kerr-Newman geometry, for smooth initial data with compact support outside the event horizon and bounded angular momentum. We prove that the Dirac wave function decays in L^\infty_loc at least at the rate t^{-5/6}. For generic initial data, this rate of decay is sharp. We derive a formula for the probability p that the Dirac particle escapes to infinity. For various conditions on the initial data, we show that p=0,1 or 0<p<1. The proofs are based on a refined analysis of the Dirac propagator constructed in gr-qc…
We prove dispersive decay estimates for the one-dimensional Dirac operator and use them to prove asymptotic stability of small gap solitons in the nonlinear Dirac equations with quintic and higher-order nonlinear terms.
We consider the explicit asymptotic profile of massless Dirac fields on a Schwarzschild background. First, we prove for the spin $s=\pm \frac{1}{2}$ components of the Dirac field a uniform bound of a positive definite energy and an integrated local energy decay estimate from a symmetric hyperbolic wave system. Based on these estimates, we further show that these components have globally pointwise decay $fv^{-3/2-s}τ^{-5/2+s}$ as both an upper and a lower bound outside the black hole, with function $f$ finite and explicitly expressed in terms of the initial data and the coordinates. This establ…
We study the dispersive properties of the wave equation and the massless Dirac equation in three space dimensions, perturbed with electromagnetic potentials. The potentials are assumed to be small but may be rough. For both equations, we prove a dispersive estimate of the form |u(t,x)|< C/t. The constant C can be estimated in terms of a weighted H^s norm of the data, for suitable values of s. As a consequence of our method of proof, we establish the limiting absorption principle for the massless Dirac operator perturbed with a small, rough matrix potential.
We give a proof of the exact asymptotic behaviour in Anderson's Orthogonality Catastrophe for Dirac-$δ$ perturbations. We prove the exact asymptotics of the scalar product of the ground states of two non-interacting Fermi gases confined to a $3$-dimensional ball $B_L$ of radius $L$ in the thermodynamic limit, where the underlying one-particle operators differ by a Dirac-$δ$ perturbation. More precisely, we show the algebraic decay of the correlation determinant $\big|\det\big(\langleφ_j^L, ψ_k^L\rangle\big)_{j,k=1,...,N}\big|^2= L^{-ζ(E)+ \text{o}(1)}$, as $N,L\to\infty$ and $N/|B_L|\to~ ρ>0$,…
We investigate $L^1\to L^\infty$ dispersive estimates for the massless two dimensional Dirac equation with a potential. In particular, we show that the Dirac evolution satisfies the natural $t^{-\frac12}$ decay rate, which may be improved to $t^{-\frac12-γ}$ for any $0\leq γ<\frac{3}{2}$ at the cost of spatial weights. We classify the structure of threshold obstructions as being composed of a two dimensional space of p-wave resonances and a finite dimensional space of eigenfunctions at zero energy. We show that, in the presence of a threshold resonance, the Dirac evolution satisfies the natura…
We consider two-dimensional Pauli and Dirac operators with a polynomially vanishing magnetic field. The main results of the paper provide resolvent expansions of these operators in the vicinity of their thresholds. It is proved that the nature of these expansions is fully determined by the flux of the magnetic field. The most important novelty of the proof is a comparison between the spatial asymptotics of the zero modes obtained in two different manners. The result of this matching allows to compute explicitly all the singular terms in the associated resolvent expansions. As an application we…
In the first part, we construct a cut and project scheme from a family $\{P_\varepsilon\}$ of sets verifying four conditions. We use this construction to characterize weighted Dirac combs defined by cut and project schemes and by continuous functions on the internal groups in terms of almost periodicity. We are also able to characterise those weighted Dirac combs for which the internal function is compactly supported. Lastly, using the same cut and project construction for $\varepsilon$-dual sets, we are able to characterise Meyer sets in $σ$-compact locally compact Abelian groups.
We investigate $L^1\to L^\infty$ dispersive estimates for the three dimensional Dirac equation with a potential. We also classify the structure of obstructions at the thresholds of the essential spectrum as being composed of a two dimensional space of resonances and finitely many eigenfunctions. We show that, as in the case of the Schrödinger evolution, the presence of a threshold obstruction generically leads to a loss of the natural $t^{-\frac32}$ decay rate. In this case we show that the solution operator is composed of a finite rank operator that decays at the rate $t^{-\frac12}$ plus a te…
We are interested in the cubic Dirac equation with mass $m \in [0, 1]$ in two space dimensions, which is also known as the Soler model. We conduct a thorough study on this model with initial data sufficiently small in high regularity Sobolev spaces. First, we show the global existence of the model, which is uniform-in-mass. In addition, we derive a unified pointwise decay result valid for all $m \in [0, 1]$. Last but not least, we prove the cubic Dirac equations scatter linearly with an explicit scattering speed. When the mass $m=0$, we can show an improved pointwise decay result.
In this paper, we show that massless Dirac waves in the Schwarzschild geometry decay to zero at a rate $t^{-2λ}$, where $λ=1, 2,...$ is the angular momentum. Our technique is to use Chandrasekhar's separation of variables whereby the Dirac equations split into two sets of wave equations. For the first set, we show that the wave decays as $t^{-2λ}$. For the second set, in general, the solutions tend to some explicit profile at the rate $t^{-2λ}$. The decay rate of solutions of Dirac equations is achieved by showing that the coefficient of the explicit profile is exactly zero. The key ingredient…
The zero modes and zero resonances of the Dirac operator $H=α\cdot D + Q(x)$ are discussed, where $α= (α_1, α_2, α_3)$ is the triple of $4 \times 4$ Dirac matrices, $ D=\frac{1}{i} \nabla_x$, and $Q(x)=\big(q_{jk} (x) \big)$ is a $4\times 4$ Hermitian matrix-valued function with $| q_{jk}(x) | \le C < x >^{-ρ} $, $ρ>1$. We shall show that every zero mode $f(x)$ is continuous on ${\mathbb R}^3$ and decays at infinity with the decay rate $|x|^{-2}$. Also, we shall show that $H$ has no zero resonance if $ρ> 3/2$.
We study the massive two dimensional Dirac operator with an electric potential. In particular, we show that the $t^{-1}$ decay rate holds in the $L^1\to L^\infty$ setting if the threshold energies are regular. We also show these bounds hold in the presence of s-wave resonances at the threshold. We further show that, if the threshold energies are regular that a faster decay rate of $t^{-1}(\log t)^{-2}$ is attained for large $t$, at the cost of logarithmic spatial weights. The free Dirac equation does not satisfy this bound due to the s-wave resonances at the threshold energies.
In this paper, we present new estimates for the entropy dissipation of the Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation (with hard or moderately soft potentials) in terms of a weighted relative Fisher information adapted to this equation. Such estimates are used for studying the large time behaviour of the equation, as well as for providing new a priori estimates (in the soft potential case). An important feature of such estimates is that they are uniform with respect to the quantum parameter. Consequently, the same estimations are recovered for the classical limit, that is the Landau equation.
The paper analyses the decay of any zero modes that might exist for a massless Dirac operator $H:= \ba \cdot (1/i) \bgrad + Q, $ where $Q$ is $4 \times 4$-matrix-valued and of order $O(|\x|^{-1})$ at infinity. The approach is based on inversion with respect to the unit sphere in $\R^3$ and establishing embedding theorems for Dirac-Sobolev spaces of spinors $f$ which are such that $f$ and $Hf$ lie in $(L^p(\R^3))^4, 1\le p<\infty.$
In this paper we show the existence of infinitely many symmetric solutions for a cubic Dirac equation in two dimensions, which appears as effective model in systems related to honeycomb structures. Such equation is critical for the Sobolev embedding and solutions are found by variational methods. Moreover, we prove also prove smoothness and exponential decay at infinity.
In this paper we consider Dirac operators in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq2$, with a potential $V$. Under mild decay and continuity assumptions on $V$ and some spectral assumptions on the operator, we prove a limiting absorption principle for the resolvent, which implies a family of Strichartz estimates for the linear Dirac equation. For large potentials the dynamical estimates are not an immediate corollary of the free case since the resolvent of the free Dirac operator does not decay in operator norm on weighted $L^2$ spaces as the frequency goes to infinity.
We prove regularity for a class of boundary value problems for first order elliptic systems, with boundary conditions determined by spectral decompositions, under coefficient differentiability conditions weaker than previously known. We establish Fredholm properties for Dirac-type equations with these boundary conditions. Our results include sharp solvability criteria, over both compact and non-compact manifolds; weighted Poincare and Schroedinger-Lichnerowicz inequalities provide asymptotic control in the non-compact case. One application yields existence of solutions for the Witten equation …
