We consider the problem of a relativistic electron in the presence of a Coulomb potential and a magnetic field in the background spacetime corresponding to a cosmic string. We find the solution of the corresponding Dirac equation and determine the energy spectrum of the particle.

We consider a noncommutative description of graphene. This description consists of a Dirac equation for massless Dirac fermions plus noncommutative corrections, which are treated in the presence of an external magnetic field. We argue that, being a two-dimensional Dirac system, graphene is particularly interesting to test noncommutativity. We find that momentum noncommutativity affects the energy levels of graphene and we obtain a bound for the momentum noncommutative parameter.

Chiral Transformation

The chiral anomaly in (2+1)-dimensions and its relationship to the zero mode of the Dirac equation in the massless case is studied. Solutions are obtained for the Dirac equation under a vector potential which generates a constant magnetic field. It is shown that there is an anomaly term associated with the corresponding chiral transformation. It can be calculated by using the regularization procedure of Fujikawa. The results are applied to the quantum Hall effect.

Massless Fermions

The wavefunctions describing the massless fermions evolving in a static magnetic field orthogonal to a radially planar electric field are obtained, as solutions to Dirac equation. In the case of the magnetic field alone, the corresponding HeunB confluent functions turn into the usual Hermite polynomials and the energy spectrum has the familiar form which has been reported for graphene samples. Within a more involved analysis with both electric and magnetic orthogonal static fields, we compute the conserved current density component and the quantized off-diagonal conductivity.

New Treatment

Using the approach of the modified Euler–Lagrange field equation together with the corresponding Seiberg–Witten maps of the dynamical fields, a noncommutative Dirac equation with a Coulomb potential is derived. We then find the noncommutative modification to the energy levels and the possible new transitions. In the nonrelativistic limit a general form of the Hamiltonian of the hydrogen atom is obtained, and we show that the noncommutativity plays the role of spin and magnetic field which gives the hyperfine structure.

The Magnetic Field

The exact propagator for an electron in a constant uniform magnetic field as the sum over Landau levels is obtained using the direct derivation by standard methods of quantum field theory from exact solutions to the Dirac equation in the magnetic field. The result can be useful for further development of the calculation technique of quantum processes in an external active medium, particularly in the conditions of moderately large field strengths when it is insufficient to take into account only the ground Landau level contribution.
