### Essential self-adjointness of Dirac operators with a variable mass term

#### Abstract

In this paper we study the essential self-adjointness of Dirac operators with a variable mass term $m(x)$ and an electric potential $V(x)$. We are mainly interested in the local singularities of $m(x)$ and $V(x)$. We can treat singularities of $m(x)$ and $V(x)$ which are stronger than those of Coulomb potentials.
