Quantum singularities around a global monopole
- 1. Departamento de Matematica Aplicada-IMECC, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, 13081-970 Campinas, Sao Paulo (Brazil)
Description
The behavior of a massive scalar particle on the spacetime surrounding a monopole is studied from a quantum mechanical point of view. All the boundary conditions necessary to turn the spatial portion of the wave operator self-adjoint are found and their importance to the quantum interpretation of singularities is emphasized.
