Charged reflecting shells supporting non-minimally coupled massless scalar field configurations
Abstract
We study {\it analytically} the physical and mathematical properties of spatially regular massless scalar field configurations which are non-minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field of a spherically symmetric charged reflecting shell. In particular, the Klein-Gordon wave equation for the composed charged-reflecting-shell-nonminimally-coupled-linearized-massless-scalar-field system is solved analytically. Interestingly, we explicitly prove that the discrete resonance spectrum of charged shell radii that can support the non-minimally coupled massless scalar fields can be expressed in a remarkably compact form in terms of the characteristic zeros of the Bessel function (here , , and are respectively the electric charge of the central supporting shell, the dimensionless non-minimal coupling parameter of the Maxwell-scalar theory, and the angular harmonic index of the supported scalar configuration).
