Quantum Singularities Around a Global Monopole

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2010-04-21 v2

Abstract

The behavior of a massive scalar particle on the spacetime surrounding a monopole is studied from a quantum mechanical point of view. All the boundary conditions necessary to turn into self-adjoint the spatial portion of the wave operator are found and their importance to the quantum interpretation of singularities is emphasized.
