Phys. Chem. Math. 7(2) (2016) 268] to deal with delta interactions in a rigorous way in a curved spacetime represented by a cosmic string along the [Formula: see text] axis. This mathematical machinery is applied in order to study the discrete spectrum of a point-mass particle confined in an infinitely long cylinder with a conical defect on the [Formula: see text] axis and perturbed by two identical attractive delta interactions symmetrically situated around the origin. We derive a suitable approximate formula for the total energy. As a consequence, we found the existence of a mixing of states with positive or zero energy with the ones with negative energy (bound states). This mixture depends on the radius [Formula: see text] of the trapping cylinder. The number of quantum bound states is an increasing function of the radius [Formula: see text]. It is also interesting to note the presence of states with zero total energy (quasi free states). Apart from the gravitational background, the model presented in this paper is of interest in the context of nanophysics and graphene modeling. In particular, the graphene with double layer in this framework, with the double layer given by the aforementioned delta interactions and the string on the [Formula: see text]-axis modeling topological defects connecting the two layers. As a consequence of these setups, we obtain the usual mixture of positive and negative bound states present in the graphene literature.
