Abstract

For bounded potentials which behave like -cx(-gamma) at infinity we investigate whether discrete eigenvalues of the radial Dirac operator H-kappa accumulate at +1 or not. It is well known that gamma = 2 is the critical exponent. We show that c = 1/8 + kappa(kappa+1)/2 is the critical coupling constant in the case gamma = 2. Our approach is to transform the radial Dirac equation into a Sturm-Liouville equation nonlinear in the spectral parameter and to apply a new, general result on accumulation of eigenvalues of such equations.
