This paper is devoted to a general min-max characterization of the eigenvalues in a gap of the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint unbounded operator. We prove an abstract theorem, then we apply it to the case of Dirac operators with a Coulomb-like potential. The result is optimal for the Coulomb p

β¦ Synopsis
For bounded potentials which behave like &cx &# at infinity we investigate whether discrete eigenvalues of the radial Dirac operator H } accumulate at +1 or not. It is well known that #=2 is the critical exponent. We show that c=1Γ8+ }(}+1)Γ2 is the critical coupling constant in the case #=2. Our approach is to transform the radial Dirac equation into a Sturm Liouville equation nonlinear in the spectral parameter and to apply a new, general result on accumulation of eigenvalues of such equations.

## Abstract For eigenvalues of generalized Dirac operators on compact Riemannian manifolds, we obtain a general inequality. By using this inequality, we study eigenvalues of generalized Dirac operators on compact submanifolds of Euclidean spaces, of spheres, and of real, complex and quaternionic pr
The main purpose of the present paper is to investigate the semiclassical asymptotics of eigenvalues for the Dirac operator with magnetic fields. In the case of the Schrodinger operator with magnetic field, this problem was recently solved by Matsumoto. We show that the nth positive eigenvalue of th
