Dirac-Krein systems on star graphs

Abstract

We study the spectrum of a self-adjoint Dirac-Krein operator with potential on a compact star graph $\mathcal{G}$ with a finite number $n$ of edges. This operator is defined by a Dirac-Krein differential expression with summable matrix potentials on each edge, by self-adjoint boundary conditions at the outer vertices, and by a self-adjoint matching condition at the common central vertex of $\mathcal{G}$. Special attention is paid to Robin matching conditions with parameter $\tau \in \mathbb{R}\cup \{\infty \}$. Choosing the decoupled operator with Dirichlet condition at the central vertex as a reference operator, we derive Krein's resolvent formula, introduce corresponding Weyl-Titchmarsh functions, study the multiplicities, dependence on $\tau$, and interlacing properties of the eigenvalues, and prove a trace formula. Moreover, we show that, asymptotically for $R\to \infty$, the difference of the number of eigenvalues in the intervals $[0,R)$ and $[-R,0)$ deviates from some integer ${\kappa }_0$, which we call dislocation index, at most by $n+2$.
