Abstract

In this paper, we study the relativistic energy spectrum for Dirac fermions under rainbow gravity effects in the (3+1)(3+1)-dimensional Bonnor-Melvin-Lambda spacetime, where we work with the curved Dirac equation in cylindrical coordinates. Using the tetrads formalism of General Relativity and considering a first-order approximation for the trigonometric functions, we obtain a Bessel equation. To solve this differential equation, we also consider a region where a hard-wall confining potential is present (i.e., some finite distance where the radial wave function is null). In other words, we define a second boundary condition (Dirichlet boundary condition) to achieve the quantization of the energy. Consequently, we obtain the spectrum for a fermion/antifermion, which is quantized in terms of quantum numbers nn, mjm_j and msm_s, where nn is the radial quantum number, mjm_j is the total magnetic quantum number, msm_s is the spin magnetic quantum number, and explicitly depends on the rainbow functions F(ξ)F(\xi) and G(ξ)G(\xi), curvature parameter α\alpha, cosmological constant Λ\Lambda, fixed radius r0r_0, and on the rest energy m0m_0, and zz-momentum pzp_z. So, analyzing this spectrum according to the values of mjm_j and msm_s, we see that for mj>0m_j>0 with ms=1/2m_s=-1/2 (positive angular momentum and spin down), and for mj<0m_j<0 with ms=+1/2m_s=+1/2 (negative angular momentum and spin up), the spectrum is the same. Besides, we graphically analyze in detail the behavior of the spectrum for the three scenarios of rainbow gravity as a function of Λ\Lambda, r0r_0, and α\alpha for three different values of nn (ground state and the first two excited states).
