Tunneling estimates for two-dimensional perturbed magnetic Dirac systems

Abstract

We prove tunneling estimates for two-dimensional Dirac systems which are localized in space due to the presence of a magnetic field. The Hamiltonian driving the motion admits the decomposition $H = H_0 + W$, where $H_0 $ is a rotationally symmetric magnetic Dirac operator and $W$ is a position-dependent matrix-valued potential satisfying certain smoothness condition in the angular variable. A consequence of our results are upper bounds for the growth in time of the expected size of the system and its total angular momentum.
