Boundary Value Problems for Dirac Operators on Graphs (2307.13324v3)
Published 25 Jul 2023 in math.SP
Abstract: We carry the index theory for manifolds with boundary of B\"ar and BaLLMann over to first order differential operators on metric graphs. This approach results in a short proof for the index of such operators. Then the self-adjoint extensions and the spectrum of the Dirac operator on the complex line bundle are studied. We also introduce two types of boundary conditions for the Dirac operator, whose spectrum encodes information of the underlying topology of the graph.
