Abstract

Given a bounded smooth domain \Ω\⊂\ℝ3, we explore the\nrelation between couplings of the free Dirac operator\n-i\α\⋅\∇+m\β with pure electrostatic shell potentials\n\λ\δ\∂\Ω (\λ\∈\ℝ) and some\nperturbations of those potentials given by the normal vector field N on the\nshell \∂\Ω, namely \λe+\λn(\α\⋅\nN) \δ\∂\Ω (\λe, \λn\∈\ℝ). Under the\nappropiate change of parameters, the couplings with perturbed and unperturbed\nelectrostatic shell potentials yield unitary equivalent self-adjoint operators.\nThe proof relies on the construction of an explicit family of unitary operators\nthat is well adapted to the study of shell interactions, and fits within the\nframework of gauge theory. A generalization of such unitary operators also\nallow us to deal with the self-adjointness of couplings of\n-i\α\⋅\∇+m\β with some shell potentials of magnetic type,\nnamely \λ(\α\⋅ N)\δ\∂\Ω with \λ\∈\nC1(\∂\Ω).\n
