Approximation of Dirac operators with confining electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $δ$-shell potentials

TL;DR
The work analyzes how Dirac operators with confining $δ$-shell potentials on a smooth hypersurface can be obtained as norm-resolvent limits of Dirac operators with strongly localized regular potentials. By introducing a scaling framework $V_ε = ηI_N + τβ$ supported in a tubular neighborhood and using boundary integral operators $Φ_z$ and $𝒞_z$, the authors prove that $H_{f(ε)V_ε}$ converges in the norm-resolvent sense to $H_{ ilde{V}δ_Σ}$ with $ ilde{V} = (2/\,√{|d|})V$ for $d = η^2 - τ^2 < 0$, and that choosing $f(ε)$ so that $ ilde{d} = -4$ yields confining interaction strengths. They establish explicit error bounds: $ig\\|(H_{ ilde{V}δ_Σ}-z)^{-1} - (H_{ ilde{V}_ε δ_Σ}-z)^{-1}ig\\| \\le C e^{-f(ε)√{|d|}}$ and $ig\\|(H_{ ilde{V}_ε δ_Σ}-z)^{-1} - (H_{f(ε)V_ε}-z)^{-1}ig\\| \\le C f(ε)^{3/2} ε^{\gamma}$ with $\\gamma obreakin (0,1/2)$. Consequently, $H_{f(ε)V_ε}$ converges to $H_{ ilde{V}δ_Σ}$ in norm-resolvent sense, and in the $d=-4$ case one recovers the target confining δ-shell operator, providing a constructive bridge from regularized, localized potentials to singular Dirac-interface interactions.
Abstract
In this paper we study the approximation of Dirac operators with $δ$-shell potentials in the norm resolvent sense. In particular, we consider the approximation of Dirac operators with confining electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $δ$-shell potentials, where the support of the $δ$-shell potentials is impermeable to particles modelled by such Dirac operators.
