On two-dimensional Dirac operators with $\delta$-shell interactions supported on unbounded curves with straight ends

Abstract

In this paper we study the self-adjointness and spectral properties of two-dimensional Dirac operators with electrostatic, Lorentz scalar, and anomalous magnetic $\delta$-shell interactions with constant weights that are supported on a smooth unbounded curve that is straight outside a compact set and whose ends are rays that are not parallel to each other. For all possible combinations of interaction strengths we describe the self-adjoint realizations and compute their essential spectra. Moreover, we prove in different situations the existence of geometrically induced discrete eigenvalues.
