Description

The paper analyzes the decay of any zero modes that might exist for a massless Dirac operator H:=α·(1/i)∇+Q, where Q is 4x4 matrix valued and of order O(|x|-1) at infinity. The approach is based on inversion with respect to the unit sphere in R3 and establishing embedding theorems for Dirac-Sobolev spaces of spinors f which are such that f and Hf lie in (Lp(R3))4, 1≤p<∞
