Charged fermion in $(1+2)$-dimensional wormhole with axial magnetic field

Abstract

We investigate the effects of magnetic field on a charged fermion in a $(1+2)$-dimensional wormhole. Applying external magnetic field along the axis direction of the wormhole, the Dirac equation is set up and analytically solved in two scenarios, constant magnetic flux and constant magnetic field through the throat of the wormhole. For the constant magnetic flux scenario, the system can be solved analytically and exact solutions are found. For the constant magnetic field scenario, with the short wormhole approximation, the quantized energies and eigenstates are obtained. The system exhibits both the spin-orbit coupling and the Landau quantization for the stationary states in both scenarios. The intrinsic curvature of the surface induces the spin-orbit and spin-magnetic Landau couplings that generate imaginary energy. Imaginary energy can be interpreted as the energy dissipation and instability of the states. Generically, the states of charged fermion in wormhole are quasinormal modes~(QNMs) that could be unstable for positive imaginary frequencies and decaying for negative imaginary ones. For the constant flux scenario, the fermions in the wormhole can behave like bosons and have arbitrary statistics depending on the flux. We also discuss the implications of our results in the graphene wormhole system.
