Massive dirac operator symmetric spectrum

Consider the Dirac operator $$ H = \begin{pmatrix} m & -i\partial_z \\ -i\partial_{\bar z} & -m \end{pmatrix},$$ where $\partial_{\bar z}$ is the Cauchy-Riemann operator and $m \ge 0.$ It is ...

When is rank-1 perturbation to a positive operator still positive?

Let $A : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ and $B : \mathcal{H} \to \mathcal{H}$ be trace-class (hence compact) Hermitian operators on a separable Hilbert space. Assume that $A$ is strictly positive and ...
