Analogue of superradiance effect in acoustic black hole in the presence of disclination

In this paper we invstigate the possibility of the acoustic analogue of a phenomenon like superradiance, that is, the amplification of a sound wave by reflection from the ergo-region of a rotating acoustic black hole in the fluid "draining bathtub" model in the presence of a desclination be amplified or reduced in agreement with the value of the deficit angle.

Comment to: Corrections to the fine structure constant in the spacetime of a cosmic string from the generalized uncertainty principle

In the paper [F. Nasseri, Phys. Lett. B 632 (2006) 151--154], F. Nasseri supposed that the value of the angular momentum for the Bohr's atom in the presence of the cosmic string is quantized in units of ℏ. Using this assumption it was obtained an incorrect expression for Bohr radius in this scenario. In this comment I want to point out that this assumption is not correct and present a corrected expression for the Bohr radius in this background.

Scalar and spinor solutions in the spacetimes of vacuumless defects

We obtain solutions of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the gravitational fields of vacuumless defects. We calculate the energy levels and the current, respectively, in the scalar and spinor cases. In all these situations we emphasize the role played by the defects on the solutions, energy and current.

Remarks on some quantum effects in the spacetime of a cosmic string

We study the behaviour of a non-relativistic quantum particle interacting with different potentials, in the background spacetime generated by a cosmic string. We find the energy spectra for the quantum systems under consideration and discuss how they differ from their flat Minkowski spacetime values.

On a generalized gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect

A massless spinor particle is considered in the background gravitational field due to a rotating body. In the weak field approximation it is shown that the solution of the Weyl equations depend on the angular momentum of the rotating body, which does not affect the curvature in this approximation. This result may be looked upon as a generalization of the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect.

Hydrogen atom in the gravitational fields of topological defects

We consider a hydrogen atom in the background spacetimes generated by an infinitely thin cosmic string and by a point-like global monopole. In both cases, we find the solutions of the corresponding Dirac equations and we determine the energy levels of the atom. We investigate how the geometric and topological features of these spacetimes leads to shifts in the energy levels as compared with the flat Minkowski spacetime.

Non-relativistic quantum systems on topological defects space-times

We study the behavior of non-relativistic quantum particles interacting with different potentials in the space-times generated by a cosmic string and a global monopole. We find the energy spectra in the presence of these topological defects and show how they differ from their free space-time values.
