AbstractIn this paper, we solve generalized KG-oscillator interacts with a uniform magnetic field in five-dimensional space-time background produced by topological defects under a linear confining potential using the Kaluza–Klein theory. We solve this equation and analyze an analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm effect for bound states. We observe that the energy level for each radial mode depend on the global parameters characterizing the space-time, the confining potential, and the magnetic field which shows a quantum effect.

We solve a generalized Klein-Gordon oscillator (KGO) in the presence of a uniform magnetic field including quantum flux under the effects of a scalar and vector potentials of Coulomb-types in the static cosmic string space-time. We obtain the energy and corresponding eigenfunctions, and analyze a relativistic analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for bound states.

A theory in which four-dimensional space–time is generalized to a larger space, namely a 16-dimensional Clifford space (C-space) is investigated. Curved Clifford space can provide a realization of Kaluza–Klein. A covariant Dirac equation in curved C-space is explored. The generalized Dirac field is assumed to be a polyvector-valued object (a Clifford number) which can be written as a superposition of four independent spinors, each spanning a different left ideal of Clifford algebra. The general transformations of a polyvector can act from the left and/or from the right, and form a large gauge group which may contain the group U (1) × SU (2) × SU (3) of the standard model. The generalized spin connection in C-space has the properties of Yang–Mills gauge fields. It contains the ordinary spin connection related to gravity (with torsion), and extra parts describing additional interactions, including those described by the antisymmetric Kalb–Ramond fields.

A free test particle in five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein space–time will show its electricity in the reduced four-dimensional space–time when it moves along the fifth dimension. In the light of this observation, we study the coupling of a five-dimensional dust field with the Kaluza–Klein gravity. It turns out that the dust field can curve the five-dimensional space–time in such a way that it provides exactly the source of the electromagnetic field in the four-dimensional space–time after the dimensional reduction.

Albert Einstein, Lorentz and Minkowski published in 1905 the Theory of Special Relativity and Einstein published in 1915 his field theory of general relativity based on a curved 4-dimensional space-time continuum to integrate the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field in one unified field. Since then the method of Einstein’s unifying field theory has been developed by many others in more than 4 dimensions resulting finally in the well-known 10-dimensional and 11-dimensional “string theory”. String theory is an outgrowth of S-matrix theory, a research program begun by Werner Heisenberg in 1943 (following John Archibald Wheeler‘s(3) 1937 introduction of the S-matrix), picked up and advocated by many prominent theorists starting in the late 1950’s.Theodor Franz Eduard Kaluza (1885-1954), was a German mathematician and physicist well-known for the Kaluza–Klein theory involving field equations in curved five-dimensional space. His idea that fundamental forces can be unified by introducing additional dimensions re-emerged much later in the “String Theory”.The original Kaluza-Klein theory was one of the first attempts to create an unified field theory i.e. the theory, which would unify all the forces under one fundamental law. It was published in 1921 by Theodor Kaluza and extended in 1926 by Oskar Klein. The basic idea of this theory was to postulate one extra compactified space dimension and introduce nothing but pure gravity in a new (1 + 4)-dimensional space-time. Klein suggested that the fifth dimension would be rolled up into a tiny, compact loop on the order of 10-35 [m]The presented "New Unification Theory" unifies Classical Electrodynamics with General Relativity and Quantum Physics

We investigate the analog effect of the Aharonov–Bohm effect for bound states in two relativistic quantum systems in a spacetime with a spacelike dislocation. We assume that the topological defect has an internal magnetic flux. Then, we analyze the interaction of a charged particle with a uniform magnetic field in this topological defect spacetime, and thus, we extend this analysis to the confinement of a hard-wall potential and a linear scalar potential. Later, the interaction of the Klein–Gordon oscillator with a uniform magnetic field is analyzed. We first focus on the effects of torsion that stem from the spacetime with a spacelike dislocation and the geometric quantum phase. Then, we analyze the effects of torsion and the geometric quantum phase under the presence of a hard-wall potential and a linear scalar potential.

Using Kaluza-Klein theory we study the quantum mechanics of a scalar particle in the background of a chiral cosmic string and of a magnetic cosmic string. We show that the wave functions and the energy spectra associated with the particle depend on the global features of those space–times. These dependences represent the analogs of the well-known Aharonov–Bohm effect. This effect appears as the sum of two contributions, one of gravitational origin and the other of electromagnetic origin.
