A potential for the one‐dimensional Dirac operator is constructed such that its essential spectrum does not cover the whole real line, whereas the potential q ( x ) tends to ∞ as ∣ x ∣ → ∞. Furthermore, a criterion by Hartman and Wintner for points of the essential spectrum of Sturm–Liouville operators is generalised to a purely operator‐theoretical setting, and a simplified proof is given. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification 34L40, 47A10, 81Q10.
