Dirac system with potential lying in Besov spaces

Abstract

We study the spectral properties of the Dirac operator L_P,U generated in the space (L₂[0, π])² by the differential expression By′ + P(x)y and by Birkhoff regular boundary conditions U, where y = (y₁, y₂)^t, \(B = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - i}&0 \\ 0&i \end{array}} \right)\), and the entries of the matrix P are complexvalued Lebesgue measurable functions on [0, π]. We also study the asymptotic properties of the eigenvalues {λ_n}_n∈Z of the operator L_P,U as n → ∞ depending on the “smoothness” degree of the potential P; i.e., we consider the scale of Besov spaces B_1,∞^θ, θ ∈ (0, 1). In the case of strongly regular boundary conditions, we study the asymptotic behavior of the system of normalized eigenfunctions of the operator L_P,U, and in the case of regular but not strongly regular boundary conditions, we find the asymptotics of two-dimensional spectral projections.
