In this work, we generalize the spacetime induced by a rotating cosmic
string, taking into account anisotropic effects due the breaking of the Lorentz
violation. In particular, we explore the energy levels of a massive spinless
particle that is covariantly coupled to a uniform magnetic field aligned with
the string. Subsequently, we introduce a scalar potential featuring both a
Coulomb-type and a linear confining term and comprehensively solve the
Klein-Gordon equations for each configuration. Finally, by imposing rigid-wall
boundary conditions, we determine the Landau levels when the linear defect
itself possesses magnetization. Notably, our analysis reveals the occurrence of
Landau quantization even in the absence of gauge fields, provided the string
possesses spin. Finally, the thermodynamic properties are computed as well in
these scenarios.
Generalizing the Spacetime Induced by a Rotating Cosmic String
In this work, we aim to generalize the spacetime induced by a rotating cosmic string and consider the anisotropic effects due to the breaking of the Lorentz violation. Specifically, we investigate the energy levels of a massive spinless particle that is covariantly coupled to a uniform magnetic field aligned with the string.
Introducing a Scalar Potential
In addition to studying the energy levels, we introduce a scalar potential that includes both a Coulomb-type and a linear confining term. By solving the Klein-Gordon equations for each configuration, we can fully understand the behavior of the system under these potential conditions.
Determining Landau Levels with Magnetized Linear Defects
By imposing rigid-wall boundary conditions, we can determine the Landau levels in cases where the linear defect itself possesses magnetization. Interestingly, our analysis reveals that Landau quantization can occur even in the absence of gauge fields, as long as the string possesses spin.
Computing Thermodynamic Properties
Finally, we compute the thermodynamic properties of the system under these scenarios. Understanding the thermodynamic behavior is crucial for practical applications and further theoretical developments.
