Heun-function analysis of the Dirac spinor spectrum in a sine–Gordon soliton background

We study the Dirac spectrum in a sine-Gordon soliton background, where the induced position-dependent mass reduces the spectral problem to a Heun-type differential equation. Bound and scattering sectors are treated within a unified framework, with spectral data encoded in Wronskians matching local Heun solutions and exhibiting explicit dependence on the soliton parameters and the bare fermion mass. This formulation enables a systematic analysis of spinor bound and scattering states, supported by analytic and numerical verification of wave function matching across the soliton domain. The present work is related to arXiv:2512.07658 and emphasizes a pedagogical treatment of scattering states within the Heun-equation formalism.
