We here consider a generalization of the Klein-Gordon scalar wave equation which involves a single arbitrary function. The quantization may be viewed as allowing $\hbar$ to be a function of the momentum or wave vector rather than a…
A generalized Hamilton-Jacobi representation describes microstates of the Schr\"odinger wave function for bound states. At the very points that boundary values are applied to the bound state Schr\"odinger wave function, the generalized…

We study the solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation for the massive scalar field in the universal covering space of two-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. For certain values of the mass parameter, we impose a suitable set of boundary…
We rewrite the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation in an arbitrary space-time transforming it into a generalized Schr\"odinger equation. Then we take the weak field limit and show that this equation has some differences with the traditional…
We consider for the first time the solutions of Klein-Gordon equation in gravitational field of {\em a massive} point source in GR. We examine numerically the basic bounded quantum state and the next few states in the discrete spectrum for…
We mainly study real Klein-Gordon theory on Anti de Sitter spacetimes, and apply the General Boundary Formulation (GBF) of Quantum Theory in order to compute a radial S-matrix. We consider first the classical theory, giving a complete list…
We propose in this paper a quantization scheme for real Klein-Gordon field in de Sitter spacetime. Our scheme is generally covariant with the help of vierbein, which is necessary usually for spinor field in curved spacetime. We first…
The ground, one- and two-particle states of the (1+1)-dimensional massive sine-Gordon field theory are investigated within the framework of the Gaussian wave-functional approach. We demonstrate that for a certain region of the…
For Klein-Gordon equation a consistent physical interpretation of wave functions is reviewed as based on a proper modification of the scalar product in Hilbert space. Bound states are then studied in a deep-square-well model where spectrum…
