In this paper we study for a given azimuthal quantum number κ the eigenvalues of the Chandrasekhar-Page angular equation with respect to the parameters µ := am and ν := aω, where a is the angular momentum per unit mass of a black hole, m is the rest mass of the Dirac particle and ω is the energy of the particle (as measured at infinity). For this purpose, a self-adjoint holomorphic operator family A(κ; µ, ν) associated to this eigenvalue problem is considered. At first we prove that for fixed κ ∈ R \ (− 1 2 , 1 2 ) the spectrum of A(κ; µ, ν) is discrete and that its eigenvalues depend analytically on (µ, ν) ∈ C 2 . Moreover, it will be shown that the eigenvalues satisfy a first order partial differential equation with respect to µ and ν, whose characteristic equations can be reduced to a Painlevé III equation. In addition, we derive a power series expansion for the eigenvalues in terms of ν − µ and ν + µ, and we give a recurrence relation for their coefficients. Further, it will be proved that for fixed (µ, ν) ∈ C 2 the eigenvalues of A(κ; µ, ν) are the zeros of a holomorphic function Θ which is defined by a relatively simple limit formula. Finally, we discuss the problem if there exists a closed expression for the eigenvalues of the Chandrasekhar-Page angular equation.
We investigate the existence of time-periodic solutions of the Dirac equation in the Kerr-Newman background metric. To this end, the solutions are expanded in a Fourier series with respect to the time variable t, and the Chandrasekhar separation ansatz is applied so that the question of existence of a time-periodic solution is reduced to the solvability of a certain coupled system of ordinary differential equations. First, we prove the already known result that there are no time-periodic solutions in the nonextreme case. Then, it is shown that in the extreme case for fixed black hole data there is a sequence of particle masses ͑m N ͒ NN for which a time-periodic solution of the Dirac equation does exist. The period of the solution depends only on the data of the black hole described by the Kerr-Newman metric.
Abstract. In this article we give a brief outline of the applications of the generalized Heun equation (GHE) in the context of Quantum Field Theory in curved space-times. In particular, we relate the separated radial part of a massive Dirac equation in the Kerr-Newman metric and the static perturbations for the non-extremal ReissnerNordström solution to a GHE.
Second order equations of the formz(t) + A 0 z(t) + Dż(t) = 0 are considered. Such equations are often used as a model for transverse motions of thin beams in the presence of damping. We derive various properties of the operator matrix A = 0 I −A 0 −D associated with the second order problem above. We develop sufficient conditions for analyticity of the associated semigroup and for the existence of a Riesz basis consisting of eigenvectors and associated vectors of A in the phase space.
375.0ptWe investigate the local energy decay of solutions of the Dirac equation in the non-extreme Kerr-Newman metric. First, we write the Dirac equation as a Cauchy problem and define the Dirac operator. It is shown that the Dirac operator is selfadjoint in a suitable Hilbert space. With the RAGE theorem, we show that for each particle its energy located in any compact region outside of the event horizon of the Kerr-Newman black hole decays in the time mean. *
