Abstract: Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain and $\upsilon\in\mathbb{R}$. I will consider the coupling $\mathcal{H}_{\upsilon}=\mathcal{H}+ V_\upsilon$, where $\mathcal{H}$ is the free Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $V_\upsilon= i\upsilon\beta(\alpha\cdot \mathit{N})\delta_{\partial\Omega}$ is the anomalous magnetic $\delta$-interactions potential. In the first instance, assuming that $\upsilon^2 \neq 4$ and under some regularity assumption on the domain $\Omega$, we prove that $\mathcal{H}_{\upsilon}$ is self-adjoint and its domain is included in the Sobolev space $\mathit{H}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^3\setminus \partial\Omega)^4$. Moreover, a Krein-type resolvent formula and a Birman-Schwinger principle are obtained, and several qualitative spectral properties of $\mathcal{H}_{\upsilon}$ are given. Finally, we study the self-adjoint realization of $\mathcal{H}_{\upsilon}$ in the case $\upsilon^2=4$. In particular, if $\Omega$ is $\mathit{C}^1$-smooth, we then show that $\mathcal{H}_{\upsilon}$ is essentially self-adjoint and the domain of the closure is not included in any Sobolev space $\mathit{H}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^3\setminus \partial\Omega)^4$, for all $s>0$. In addition, we show that $\overline{\mathcal{H}_{\pm2}}$ generates confinement and prove the existence of embedded eigenvalues on the essential spectrum of $\overline{\mathcal{H}_{\pm2}}$.
