    In this work we study the interaction problem of a Dirac oscillator with gravitational fields produced by

    topological defects. The energy levels of the relativisticoscillator in the cosmic string and in the cosmic dislocation

    space-times are sensible to curvature and torsion associated to these defects and are important evidence of the

    influence of the topology on this system. In the presence of a localized magnetic field the energy levels acquire

    a term associated with the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We obtain the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues and see that in

    the nonrelativistic limit some results known in standard quantum mechanics are reached.

    I. INTRODUCTION

    A relativistic generalization of the harmonic oscillator isfar from being a trivial topic and is certainly not unique.

    Such a generalization depends on the choice of a definition

    for the harmonic oscillator. The study of a relativistic electron

    in the presence of a quadratic potential was investigated by

    Nikolsky [1] and Postpska [2]. They obtained a Dirac equation

    for a quadratic potential that results in a quartic equation in

    the eigenvalues problem with no bound state solutions. They

    have demonstrated that in the nonrelativistic limit the discrete

    energy levels correspond in this oscillator to resonances [3].

    In 1967, Ito et al. [4] investigated a problem of the spin-1/2particle in which the momentum p has the coupling

    p p im x, (1)

    where m and w are the mass and oscillator frequency,

    respectively, is the standard matrix appearing in relativistic

    quantum mechanics, and x is the position of the particle.Cook [5] demonstrated that this problem exhibits certain

    peculiar accidental degeneracies. Moshinsky and Szczepaniak

    [6] revived this problem and coined the term Dirac oscillator.

    They did so due to the fact that in the nonrelativistic limit it

    becomes a harmonic oscillator [6] with a very strong spin-orbit

    coupling. In their study they obtained the eigenvalues and

    eigenstates for this problem. Recently, the Dirac oscillator

    was studied in a series of physical contexts: its covariance

    properties were studied in [7], in the point of view of Lie

    algebra in [8], hidden supersymmetry[7,911], using the shape

    invariant method [12], conformal invariance properties [13],in

    the presence of external magnetic fields, and in the presence of

    Aharonov-Bohm flux [1417]. Furthermore, Dirac oscillator

    seems to be related to superconductor systems, the quantum

    Hall effect [17], and the Ramsey interferometry effect [18].

    The study of the influence of topological defects in the

    relativistic and nonrelativistic quantum dynamics is a topic

    well investigated in recent years. In nonrelativistic quantum

    mechanics a series of problems have been investigated:

    scattering of particles by topological defects [19], bound states

    of electrons and holes to a disclination [20,21], Landau levels

    in the presence of topological defects [2224], and so on. The

    harmonic oscillator interacting with topological defects was

    investigated by two of us in [25]. In the relativistic point ofview, the quantum dynamics in the presence of topological

    defects was investigated in various physical contexts: the

    relativistic Hydrogen atom [26], space-times with topological

    defects, quantum dynamics of a single particle in the presence

    ofa series ofpotentials [27], andscattering of particles[28,29].

    The aim in the present article is to investigate the Dirac

    oscillator in the background produced by topological defects

    such as cosmic strings. In this sense, our contribution fills a

    lack on the physical properties of particles interacting with

    gravitational fields due to topological defects.

    In this contribution, we solve the Dirac equation for the

    Dirac oscillator in the background space-times of a cosmic

    string, of a magnetic cosmicstring, andof a cosmicdislocation.

    Finally, to corroborate our results, a nonrelativistic study is

    made for comparison with the known results in the literature.

    II. DIRAC OSCILLATOR IN THE COSMIC STRING

    BACKGROUND

    In this section, we proceed tosolve the Dirac oscillator in the

    cosmic string background whose signature is (, + , + ,+).The cosmic string background is described by the following

    metric written in cylindrical coordinates (t,,,z):

    ds 2 = dt2 + d2 + 22d2 + dz2, (2)

    with the following range on variables < (t,z) < , 0 < , and 0 2 . The parameter is the deficit angleassociated with the conical geometry obeying = 1 4 and is the linear mass density of the string in natural units.

    The equation to be solved is the Dirac equation in the

    background described by Eq. (2), which written in covariant

    form is

    [i(x) i(x)(x) m](t,x) = 0. (3)

    Notice that this equation, when compared to theDirac equation

    in flat space-time, has an extra (x)(x) term that takes into

    account the correction introduced by the conical geometry

    of the defect. The matrices (x) are the generalized Dirac

    matrices for the background given by Eq. (2). They satisfy

    the anticommutation relation + = 2g and arewritten in terms of the standard Dirac matrices a(x) in

    Minkowski space-time as

    (x) = ea (x)a. (4)

    The tetrad components ea(x) obey the relation

    ea(x)eb (x)ab = 2g, (5)

    where (,) = (0,1,2,3) are tensor indices and (a,b) =(0,1,2,3) are tetrad indices. We consider the following choice

    for the tetrad inverse in the cosmic string space-time

    ea (x) =

    1 0 0 0

    0 cos sin 0

    0 sin

    cos

    0

    0 0 0 1

    . (6)

    In this representation the Diracs matrices, (x), obey the

    relations

    0 = t, 3 = z, 1 = , = cos1 + sin2,(7)

    2 =

    , = sin1 + cos2.

    The correction introduced by the geometry, (x)(x)

    appearing in Eq. (3), can be calculated with the help of the

    following one-form basis

    e0 = dt, e3 = dz, e1 = cos d sin d,(8)

    e2 = sin d + cos d.

    Using the Maurer-Cartan structure equation de a + wab eb =0, we find the following nonnull components of the spin

    connection to be w1 2 = w2 1 = (1 )d. Therefore, thespin connection matrix ab = w a bdx

    is given by

    ab (x) =

    0 0 0 0

    0 0 1 0

    0 (1 ) 0 0

    0 0 0 0

    . (9)

    Hence, we can calculate the spinorial connection using

    (x) = i2

    wabab

    2with ab = i

    2[a,b]. Using this infor-

    mation and the results (7) and (9), we obtain that the curvature

    correction is

    (x)(x) =1

    2 . (10)

    In this point, we can solve the Dirac oscillator problem in the

    cosmic string background. To include the Dirac oscillator term

    imw into Eq. (3) we proceed with the following change in

    the radial momentum component + mw. There-fore, Eq. (3), with the help of Eqs. (7) and (10) transforms

    into itt + i

    = 0, (11)

    This is the quantum equation for the Dirac oscillator of mass

    m and frequency w in the background space-time described

    by Eq. (2). A solution can be constructed assuming temporal

    independence and rotational symmetry of the background

    around z axis. For the positive energy solution we can choose

    the following ansatz

    = eiEt+i(l+1/23/2)+ikz

    ()

    () . (12)In this way, Eq. (13) transforms into

    = 0, (13)

    where we use the property 3 = i imposed by relation (7). With the help of Eq. (7) we write the terms in the followingway

    We can multiply the first equation of Eq. (15) by (E + m) and using the second equation we obtain

    The third term in this expression can be written as a perfect

    square. To the last term, we use the definition of the scalar

    product S L in cylindrical coordinates. We get then

    [i12 + ik ( cos 13 + sin 23)] = L.

    (19)

    As S = 2

    the above term becomes

    [i12 + ik ( cos 13 + sin 23)] = 2 S L.

    (20)

    We can simplify our problem by assuming a tridimensional

    planar system in which the term S L has an eigenvalue (l +1/2)/2. With this we can write Eq. (18) in a compact form

    Note that taking the limit 1 into Eq. (28) leads tothe energy levels of the particle in flat space added by its

    rest energy. Moreover, for integer values of , the infinite

    degeneracy of the eigenvalues is present, in accordance with

    the degenerate states of the nonrelativistic case. For noninteger values the degeneracies are absent.

    III. DIRAC OSCILLATOR IN THE MAGNETIC COSMIC

    STRING BACKGROUND

    In this section, the Dirac equation in the background of a

    cosmic string with an internal magnetic field will be solved.

    We choose the magnetic vector potential to be A = iB

    2e.

    This choice gives a flux tube coinciding with the cosmic string

    and the z axis. We assume that the Hamiltonian is minimally

    coupled to this magnetic field. In this field configuration, the

    Dirac oscillator coupled to the cosmic string background obeysitt + i

    In this way the angular term is added to the Aharonov-Bohm

    contribution eB /2 . A mathematical procedure to solve the

    equation for the component begins with the substitution = 2. At the origin and at infinity, normalized solutionsare found by choosing

    () = |a+|

    2 e

    2 F(), (35)

    and a+ = (l + 1/2 + eB /2 )/ + 1/2. By direct substitu-tion of this equation into Eq. (33) we get

    which is, again, a confluent hypergeometric equation similar

    to the one in the previous section. Here the angular momentum

    part is added by the magnetic flux contribution eB /2 .

    Normalized solutions to this equation are guaranteed by

    imposing thatthe last term should assume only negative integer

    or zero values. This results in

    with lAB = l + eB /2 and which has two contributions.The first is related to the nonlocal or topological features

    of the background space-times ascribed by the parameter,

    although the background space-time is locally flat. The second

    features the electromagnetic contribution to these levels, even

    though the magnetic field is restricted to the symmetry axisof the string, a forbidden region to our particle. We can

    summarize these observations as a gravitational analog of the

    well-known electromagnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect. More-

    over, the analysis has important consequences: Information

    on the background space-time or on the electromagnetic

    fields present can be found by a critical analysis of the

    eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. From this problem of Dirac

    particles interacting with a conical singularity we can obtain

    the Minkowski space-time result taking the limit 1.Independent of , assuming integer or noninteger values, the

    degenerate states of the energy levels are absent, unlike the

    previous case. To finalize this section, we see that in the limit

    of weak magnetic field B 0 the results of the previoussection are reached.

    IV. DIRAC OSCILLATOR IN COSMIC DISLOCATION

    SPACE-TIME

    From now on we proceed to consider the Dirac oscillator

    in a cosmic dislocation space-time. This geometry was found

    by Galtsov and Letelier [30] as

    ds 2 = dt2 + d2 + 22d2 + (dz + Jzd)2, (39)

    in cylindrical coordinates, with 0 and 0 2 . The

    parameter Jz is related to the torsion source and = 1 4,

    where is the linear mass density of the string, as before.We observe that, when Jz = 0, the metric of the cosmic stringspace-time is recovered. Therefore, we are adding a torsion

    source, represented by Jz, to our cosmic string. Observe that

    this metric is locally flat, as it is easily seen by the coordinate

    change t T , = ,z Z = z + Jz.To write the Dirac equation in this background, let us

    consider the following inverse tetrad:

    ea (x) =

    ing the asymptotic limits of Eq. (45), we assume a solution of

    the type

    () = |+|

    2 e

    2 R(). (46)

    Substituting the above ansatz into Eq. (45) that equation

    transforms into a confluent hypergeometric equation for

    R(n,|+| + 1,mw2), with the following eigenvalues

    with leff = l + eB /2 kJz. In this way an analog equa-

    tion to the eigenfunction (12) can be constructed with

    the help of the hypergeometric series. Comparatively to

    the results in Sec. II, the spinor for the Dirac oscil-

    lator on the cosmic dislocation space-time assumes the

    form ()

    (48)

    Again we observe a Landau structure in the above energy

    levels. Comparatively to the previous cases, the energy levels

    now have a torsional contribution, besides the curvature

    and electromagnetic parts. For Jz = 0, all previous resultsare recovered. Contrary to the nonrelativistic case [25], the

    degeneracy of the Landau levels is not removed by choosing

    integer. The results (47) and (48) yield all the previously

    obtained results in the appropriate limits. Notice that torsionas well as magnetic flux give rise to an effective angular

    momentum.

    V. NONRELATIVISTIC LIMIT

    To analyze the nonrelativistic limit we assume E = m + such that m and Eq. (43) assumes the form

    term and the spin-orbit interaction. To analyze the nonrela-

    tivistic limit of the energy, we write Eq. (47) in the appropriate

    form

    E = m

    The first two terms in this expression are, respectively, the rest

    energy added to the kinetic energy of the particle along the

    string, the second term is the energy of the nonrelativistic

    harmonic oscillator, and the last one is associated to the

    relativistic correction term.

    VI. CONCLUSION

    Line defects like the cosmic string and its variations

    (magnetic cosmic string and cosmic dislocation) even though

    they correspond to locally flat geometries and have global

    properties that affect quantum systems like the harmonic

    oscillator. The analysis of the emission spectra of spacebound

    atomic species from a region where there is gravitational

    lensing is an indication of a cosmic string [31] and might

    give further evidence for the presence of the defect. In this

    article we analyzed the energy spectrum of one of the possible

    relativistic generalizations of the harmonic oscillator in the

    background space-times of the cosmic string, the magnetic

    cosmic string, and the cosmic dislocation. In all cases we

    recover the known nonrelativistic limits. The eigenvalues

    and eigenfunctions found depend explicitly on the nonlocal

    parameters of the space-time in consideration even though it

    is locally flat. This result may be thought of as a variation

    on the well-known electromagnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect.

    Also, differently from the case of Minkowski space-time, the

    presence of the defects breaks the degeneracy of the energy

    levels for noninteger values of the parameter .
