The study of the generalized Klein–Gordon oscillator in the context of the Som–Raychaudhuri space–time

In this paper, we study the relativistic scalar particle described by the Klein–Gordon equation that interacts with the uniform magnetic field in the context of the Som–Raychaudhuri space–time. Based on the property of the biconfluent Heun function equation, the corresponding Klein–Gordon oscillator and generalized Klein–Gordon oscillator under considering the Coulomb potential are separately investigated, and the analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm effect is analyzed in this scenario. On this basis, we also give the influence of different parameters including parameter [Formula: see text] and oscillator frequency [Formula: see text], and the potential parameter [Formula: see text] on the energy eigenvalues of the considered systems.

Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau oscillator in the presence of a cosmic screw dislocation

We examine the behavior of spin-zero bosons in an elastic medium which possesses a screw dislocation, which is a type of topological defect. Therefore, we solve analytically the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) oscillator for bosons in the presence of a screw dislocation with two types of potential functions: Cornell and linear-plus-cubic potential functions. For each of these functions, we analyze the impact of screw dislocations by determining the wave functions and the energy eigenvalues with the help of the Nikiforov–Uvarov method and Heun function.

Klein–Gordon equation with four inverse power term potentials

To describe interactions in the universe in a more realistic way, we used the generic model of Klein–Gordon equation with four inverse power term potentials. Using bi-confluent Heun function, we obtained a transcendental energy equation and the wave function. Moreover, we determined the non-relativistic energy. Special cases of the potential have also been discussed. These results obtained are highly applicable in many branches of physics and life sciences.

Exact Solutions of the Razavy Cosine Type Potential

We solve the quantum system with the symmetric Razavy cosine type potential and find that its exact solutions are given by the confluent Heun function. The eigenvalues are calculated numerically. The properties of the wave functions, which depend on the potential parameter a, are illustrated for a given potential parameter ξ. It is shown that the wave functions are shrunk to the origin when the potential parameter a increases. We note that the energy levels ϵi (i∈[1,3]) decrease with the increasing potential parameter a but the energy levels ϵi (i∈[4,7]) first increase and then decrease with the increasing a.

Expansions of the Solutions of the General Heun Equation Governed by Two-Term Recurrence Relations for Coefficients

We examine the expansions of the solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric functions. We present several expansions using functions, the forms of which differ from those applied before. In general, the coefficients of the expansions obey three-term recurrence relations. However, there exist certain choices of the parameters for which the recurrence relations become two-term. The coefficients of the expansions are then explicitly expressed in terms of the gamma functions. Discussing the termination of the presented series, we show that the finite-sum solutions of the general Heun equation in terms of generally irreducible hypergeometric functions have a representation through a single generalized hypergeometric function. Consequently, the power-series expansion of the Heun function for any such case is governed by a two-term recurrence relation.

A singular Lambert-W Schrödinger potential exactly solvable in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions

We introduce two potentials explicitly given by the Lambert-W function for which the exact solution of the one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation is written through the first derivative of a double-confluent Heun function. One of these potentials is a singular potential that behaves as the inverse square root in the vicinity of the origin and vanishes exponentially at the infinity. The exact solution of the Schrödinger equation for this potential is given through fundamental solutions each of which presents an irreducible linear combination of two confluent hypergeometric functions. Since the potential is effectively a short-range one, it supports only a finite number of bound states.
