Zero modes and Dirac-(logarithmic) Sobolev-type inequalities

Abstract

We study the decay rate of the zero modes of the Dirac operator with a matrix-valued potential that is considered here without any regularity assumptions, compared to the existing literature. For the Dirac operator and for Clifford-valued functions we prove the $L^p$-$L^2$ Dirac Sobolev inequality with explicit constant, as well as the $L^p$-$L^q$ Dirac-Sobolev inequalities. We prove its logarithmic counterpart for $q=2$, extending it to its Gaussian version of Gross, as well as show Nash and Poincaré inequalities in this setting, with explicit values for constants.
