Abstract
Are the classical singularities of general relativistic spacetimes, normally defined by the incompleteness of classical particle paths, still singular if quantum mechanical particles are used instead? This is the question we will attempt to answer for particles obeying the quantum mechanical wave equations for scalar, null vector and spinor particles. The analysis will be restricted to certain static general relativistic spacetimes that classically contain the mildest true classical singularities, quasiregular singularities.
