Abstract

We study the asymptotics of the spectral density of one-dimensional Dirac systems on the half-line with an angular momentum term and a potential tending to infinity at infinity. The problem has two singular end-points; however, as the spectrum is simple, the derivative of the spectral matrix has only one non-zero eigenvalue which we take to be the spectral density. Our main result shows that, assuming sufficient regularity of the potential, there are no points of spectral concentration for large values of the spectral parameter outside a neighbourhood of a discrete set of exceptional points.
