Exact Solutions of Dirac Equation and Particle Creation in (1+3)-Dimensional Robertson-Walker Spacetime

The exact solutions of the Dirac equation are discussed for a Robertson-Walker spacetime with asymptotically Minkowskian in and out regions. We obtain the mode solutions which reduce to positive and negative Minkowskian spinors in asymptotically regions. Using the obtained solutions we compute the density of created particles.     

The Dirac Equation in the Bertotti-Robinson Space-Time

The Dirac equation is considered in the uniform electromagnetic field space of Bertotti-Robinson with charge coupling. The methods of separation of variables and decoupling are easily achieved. The separated axial equation is reduced to a rare Riccati type of differential equation. The behaviour of potentials, their asymptotic solutions and the conserved currents of the Dirac equation are found.     

Global Solutions of Einstein—Dirac Equation on the Conformal Space

The difference between the Riemann and Lorentz spinor manifolds of four dimensions is that the Dirac operator of the former is elliptic and that of the latter is hyperbolic.Moreover the spinor group of the former is a compact group and that of the latter is a noncompact group,which is isomorphic to SL(2,C).Hence the results and their interpretation coming from the two theories would be different.In this short note we study only the Lorentz spinor manifold and,especially,the solutions of Einstein-Dirac equations on the conformal space,which is closely related to the AdS/CFT correspondence.     

Solving Space-Time Fractional Differential Equations by Using Modified Simple Equation Method

In this article,we establish new and more general traveling wave solutions of space-time fractional Klein–Gordon equation with quadratic nonlinearity and the space-time fractional breaking soliton equations using the modified simple equation method.The proposed method is so powerful and effective to solve nonlinear space-time fractional differential equations by with modified Riemann–Liouville derivative.     

Approximate Solutions of Dirac Equation with Hyperbolic-Type Potential

The energy eigenvalues of a Dirac particle for the hyperbolic-type potential field have been computed approximately. It is obtained a transcendental function of energy, F(E), by writing in terms of confluent Heun functions. The numerical values of energy are then obtained by fixing the zeros on "E-axis" for both complex functions Re[F(E)] and Im[F(E)].

de Broglie's Pilot-Wave Theory for the Klein–Gordon Equation and Its Space-Time Pathologies

We illustrate, using a simple model, that in the usual formulation the time-component of the Klein–Gordon current is not generally positive definite even if one restricts allowed solutions to those with positive frequencies. Since in de Broglie's theory of particle trajectories the particle follows the current this leads to difficulties of interpretation, with the appearance of trajectories which are closed loops in space-time and velocities not limited from above. We show that at least this pathology can be avoided if one adapts in a covariant form the formulation of relativistic point particle dynamics proposed by Gitman and Tyutin.     

Existence of Global-In-Time Solutions to a Generalized Dirac-Fock Type Evolution Equation

We consider a generalized DiracFock type evolution equation deduced from nophoton Quantum Electrodynamics, which describes the selfconsistent timeevolution of relativistic electrons, the observable ones as well as those filling up the Dirac sea. This equation has been originally introduced by Dirac in 1934 in a simplified form. Since we work in a Hartree-Fock type approximation, the elements describing the physical state of the electrons are infinite rank projectors. Using the Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock formalism, introduced by ChaixIracane (J. Phys. B., 22, 37913814, 1989), and recently established by Hainzl-Lewin-Séré, we prove the existence of globalintime solutions of the considered evolution equation.     

Solution of Spin and Pseudo-Spin Symmetric Dirac Equation in (1+1) Space-Time Using Tridiagonal Representation Approach

The aim of this work is to find exact solutions of the Dirac equation in(1+1) space-time beyond the already known class.We consider exact spin(and pseudo-spin) symmetric Dirac equations where the scalar potential is equal to plus(and minus) the vector potential.We also include pseudo-scalar potentials in the interaction.The spinor wavefunction is written as a bounded sum in a complete set of square integrable basis,which is chosen such that the matrix representation of the Dirac wave operator is tridiagonal and symmetric.This makes the matrix wave equation a symmetric three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction.We solve the recursion relation exactly in terms of orthogonal polynomials and obtain the state functions and corresponding relativistic energy spectrum and phase shift.     

Semi-Analytical Solution of Dirac Equation in Schwarzschild-de Sitter Spacetime

In the present paper, we solve the radial parts of Dirac equation between the inner and the outer horizon in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS for short) geometry. Complete physical parameter space is divided into two regions depending on the height of the potential barrier and the energy of the incoming particle. In each region, we concentrate on two limiting cases. The first case is when the two horizons are close to each other and the second case is when the horizons are far apart. In each case, we give the semi-analytical solution by using WKB (Wentzel-Krames-Brillouin) approximation and show the instantaneous reflection and transmission coefficients as well as the radial wave functions graphically.

Approximate Analytical Solutions of the Dirac Equation with the Hyperbolic Potential in the Presence of the Spin Symmetry and Pseudo-spin Symmetry

By employing a new improved approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term and pseudo-centrifugal term, we solve approximately the Dirac equation with the hyperbolic potential for the arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number κ. Under the condition of the spin and pseudospin symmetry, the bound state energy eigenvalues and the associated two-component spinors of the Dirac particle are obtained approximately by using the basic concept of the supersymmetric shape invariance formalism and the function analysis method.     

Dirac Equation in Space–Time with Torsion

The Dirac equation in a curved space–time endowed with compatible affine connection is reconsidered. After a detailed decomposition of the total action, the equation is obtained by varying with respect to the Dirac spinor and the torsion field. The result is a known Dirac-like equation with constraints that can be interpreted as the equation of a self-interacting spin 1/2 particle in curved space–time. The scheme is then translated into the language of the 2-spinor formalism of curved space–time based on the choice of a null tetrad frame. The spinorial equation so obtained coincides with the standard one in case of no torsion, while in general it remains a nonlinear equation describing a self-interacting spin 1/2 particle. The nonlinearity is produced by the interaction of the particle with its own current that remains conserved as in the free torsion case.     

Solution of the Dirac Equation in Expanding Universes

Exact solutions of the Dirac equation in the Robertson–Walker space-time are obtained by an elementary separation method that represents a straightforward improvement of previous results. The radial equations are integrated by reporting them to hypergeometric equations. The separated time equations are solved exactly for three models of universe expansion and integrated by series in a case of the standard cosmological model. The integration of both radial and time equations represents an improvement of previous results.     

Hawking Radiation of Dirac Particles in a Variable-Mass Kerr Space-Time

The Hawking effect of Dirac particles in a variable-mass Kerr space-time is investigated by using a method called as the generalized tortoise coordinate transformation. The location and the temperature of the event horizon of the non-stationary Kerr black hole are derived. It is shown that the temperature and the shape of the event horizon depend not only on the time but also on the angle. However, the Fermi–Dirac spectrum displays a residual term which is absent from that of Bose–Einstein distribution.     

Effect of Torsion in Dirac Equation for Coulomb Potential in Robertson–Walker Space–Time

The Dirac equation with Coulomb-like potential and self-interaction term, that originates from torsion, is studied in the Robertson–Walker space–time. It is shown that the angular dependence of the equation can be separated also in presence of nonlinear terms. Under reasonable physical assumptions, the time dependence is also separated. An extended perturbative calculation can then be applied qualitatively. The conclusion is that the perturbation of the energy levels of the system, as consequence of the self-interacting term, is not relevant on physical grounds.
