Relativistic spin-0 Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation in Bonnor–Melvin–Lambda solution

Abstract

In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive exploration of the relativistic quantum dynamics of spin-0 scalar particles, as described by the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation, within the framework of a magnetic space-time. Our focus is on the Bonnor–Melvin–Lambda (BML) solution, a four-dimensional magnetic universe characterized by a magnetic field that varies with axial distance. To initiate this investigation, we derive the radial equation using a suitable wave function ansatz and subsequently employ special functions to solve it. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to include Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau oscillator fields within the same BML space-time background. We derive the corresponding radial equation and solve it using special functions. Significantly, our results show that the geometry’s topology and the cosmological constant (both are related to the magnetic field strength) influence the eigenvalue solution of spin-0 DKP fields and DKP-oscillator fields, leading to substantial modifications in the overall outcomes.
