Over the last decade, there has been considerable interest and progress in determining the spectral properties of various operators that take relativistic effects into account, wit h important implications for mathematics and physics. Difficulties are encountered in many-particle problems due to the lack of semiboundedness of the Dirac operator, and this has led to the investigation of operators like those of Chandrasekhar-Herbst and Brown-Ravenhall, which are semibounded under appropriate circumstances.This book contains an up-to-date, comprehensive and self-contained analysis of the spectral properties of these operators, providing the tools for anyone working in this area. Another major feature is the work of the authors on zero modes, a topic which has important significance for the stability of matter and other physical problems. Up until now, these topics have been scattered throughout the literature, without a systematic and cohesive treatment. The book will report largely on the progress on these topics published since 1992.Format: HardcoverNo of Pages: 200Imprint: Imperial College PressPublication date: 20101018 Show more
