Synopsis

Absence of non-trivial square integrable solutions of the Dirac equation

for values of λ in half-rays is proved under local conditions on q, curl b, and the radial derivative of q. The Coulomb potential is admitted. Another result does not contain any growth condition on the radial derivative of q. It states that there are no solutions of integrable square other than the trivial solution if λ ε ℝ\ [−1, 1] and
