Arbitrarily coupled massive scalar field in conical thin-shell spacetimes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2019-03-27 v1

Abstract

We study the massive scalar field of a charged particle held at rest in conical thin-shell spacetimes with one or two asymptotic regions. Resonant and stable scalar Green's functions are characterized in terms of the coupling of the field to the trace of the extrinsic curvature jump at the shell. Stable coupling values, within the safety domain of the configuration parameters, are used to analyze the self-force of static point charges.
