Electrostatic self-interaction in the spacetime of a global monopole with finite core

چکیده
In this paper we calculate the induced electrostatic self-energy and self-force for an electrically charged particle placed at rest in the spacetime of a global monopole admitting a general spherically symmetric inner structure to it. In order to develop this analysis we calculate the three-dimensional Green function associated with this physical system. We explicitly show that for points outside the monopole’s core the self-energy presents two distinct contributions. The first is induced by the non-trivial topology of the global monopole considered as a point-like object. The second is a correction induced by the non-vanishing inner structure attributed to it. As an illustration of the general procedure the flower-pot model for the region inside the monopole is considered. In this application it is also possible to find the electrostatic self-energy for points in the region inside the monopole. In the geometry of the global monopole with the positive solid angle deficit, we show that for the flower-pot model the electrostatic self-force is repulsive with respect to the core surface for both exterior and interior regions.

Induced electrostatic self-interaction in the spacetime of a global monopole with inner structure
In this work we analise the electrostatic self-energy and self-force on a point-like electric charged particle induced by a global monopole spacetime considering a inner structure to it. In order to develop this analysis we calculate the three-dimensional Green function associated with this physical system. We explicitly show that for points inside and outside the monopole’s core the self-energ...
متن کاملMonopole Scattering in the Global Monopole Background
We analyze the nonrelativistic quantum scattering problem of a charged particle by an Abelian magnetic monopole in the background of a global monopole. In addition to the magnetic and geometric effects, we consider the influence of the electrostatic self-interaction on the charged particle. Moreover, for the specific case where the electrostatic self-interaction becomes attractive, charged part...
متن کاملThe Classical and Quantum Analysis of a Charged Particle on the Spacetime Produced
We study the classical and quantum motion of a relativistic charged particle on the spacetime produced by a global monopole. The self-potential , which is present in this spacetime, is considered as an external electrostatic potential. We obtain classical orbits and quantum states for a spin-1/2 and spin-0 particles.
متن کاملPolarization of the fermionic vacuum by a global monopole with finite core
We study the vacuum polarization effects associated with a massive fermionic field in a spacetime produced by a global monopole considering a nontrivial inner structure for it. In the general case of the spherically symmetric static core with finite support we evaluate the vacuum expectation values of the energy-momentum tensor and the fermionic condensate in the region outside the core. These ...

The evolution of a global monopole with an inflating core is investigated. An analytic expression for the exterior metric at large distances from the core is obtained. The overall spacetime structure is studied numerically, both in vacuum and in a radiation background.
