Spectroscopic structure of Non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric Klein--Gordon Fields in a Magnetized Cosmic String Spacetime
Abstract
We investigate non-Hermitian -symmetric Klein--Gordon (KG) fields in a magnetized cosmic string spacetime. A complex non-minimal scalar interaction, with , indulged with a magnetic charge , is shown to introduce an effective -symmetric Klein--Gordon oscillator supplemented by complex Coulombic and linear interactions. The resulting radial equation is shown to be conditionally exactly solvable using a biconfluent Heun series-to-polynomial approach. To observe non-Hermitian symmetrization, we compare with the Hermitian counterpart by mapping and . In the limiting case , the system is shown to reduce to an exactly solvable non-Hermitian symmetric Coulomb-type KG equation using confluent hypergeometric series/polynomials. Hereby, for both symmetric models considered, we show that non-Hermitian symmetrization introduces an upper limit for the allowed energies, unlike the corresponding Hermitian cases. These results provide an analytically tractable framework for exploring non-Hermitian relativistic quantum fields in curved spacetimes and demonstrate the role of -symmetry in regulating the allowed spectrum.
