We investigate the non-existence of eigenvalues of Dirac operators α · p + m(r)β + V (x) in the Hilbert space L 2 (R 3 ) 4 with a variable mass m(r) and a matrix-valued function V (x), which may decay or diverge at infinity. As a result we show that there are no eigenvalues of Dirac operators for a large class of m(r) and V (x) such that |m(r)| << |V (x)| → ∞ as r → ∞ and V (x) is positive or negative definite at infinity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
