SADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...
متن کاملMott physics and topological phase transition in correlated dirac fermions.
We investigate the interplay between the strong correlation and the spin-orbit coupling in the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model and obtain the qualitative phase diagram via the variational cluster approach. We identify, through an increase of the Hubbard U, the transition from the topological band insulator to either the spin liquid phase or the easy-plane antiferromagnetic insulating phase, depending o...
متن کاملTriplet Fermions and Dirac Fermions in Borophene
Borophene is a monolayer materials made of boron. A perfect planar boropehene called β12 borophene has Dirac cones and they are well reproduced by a tight-binding model according to recent experimental and first-principles calculation results. We explicitly derive a Dirac theory for them. Dirac cones are gapless when the inversion symmetry exists, while they are gapped when it is broken. In add...

متن کاملNeutrinos Are Nearly Dirac Fermions
Neutrino masses and mixings are analyzed in terms of left-handed fields and a 6 × 6 complex symmetric mass matrix M whose singular values are the neutrino masses. An angle xν characterizes the kind of the neutrinos, with xν = 0 for Dirac neutrinos and xν = π/2 for Majorana neutrinos. If xν = 0, then baryonminus-lepton number is conserved. When xν ≈ 0, the six neutrino masses coalesce into three...
