Abstract:
We analyze the quantum mechanical equivalence of the metrics of a centrally
symmetric uncharged gravitational field. We consider the static
Schwarzschild metric in spherical and isotropic coordinates, stationary
Eddington–Finkelstein and Painlevé–Gullstrand metrics, and nonstationary
Lemaître–Finkelstein and Kruskal–Szekeres metrics. When the real radial
functions of the Dirac equation and of the second-order equation in the Schwarzschild field are used, the domain of wave functions is restricted to
the range $r>r_0$, where $r_0$ is the radius of the event horizon. A corresponding constraint also exists in other coordinates for all considered
metrics. For the considered metrics, the second-order equations admit the existence of degenerate stationary bound states of fermions with zero
energy. As a result, we prove that physically meaningful results for a quantum mechanical description of a particle interaction with a gravitational field are independent of the choice of a solution for the centrally symmetric static gravitational field used.
Keywords:
coordinate transformation, Dirac Hamiltonian, second-order equation for fermions, effective potential, degenerate bound state.
