Abstract: | We study the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the presence of a background metric ds2=−dt2+dx2+e−2gx(dy2+dz2) in a semi-infinite lab (x>0). This metric has a constant scalar-curvature R=6g2 and is produced by a perfect fluid with equation of state p=−ρ/3. The eigenfunctions of spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles are obtained exactly, and the quantized energy eigenvalues are compared. It is shown that both of these particles must have nonzero transverse momentum in this background. We show that there is a minimum energy E2min=m2c4+g2c2?2 for bosons (EKG>Emin), while the fermions have no specific ground state (EDirac>mc2). |
