Exact Solutions for Compactly Supported Parabolic and Landau Quantum Barriers

Peter Collas, David Klein

We derive exact solutions to the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation for compact support parabolic and hyperbolic secant potential barriers, along with combinations of these types…

Polar Jet Stream Fluctuations in an Energy Balance Model

Cord Perillo, David Klein, Rabia Djellouli

We investigate the effect of increased longwave radiative forcing (a proxy for increased greenhouse gas concentration) on the zonally averaged location of the eddy-driven jet strea…

The Dirac equation in general relativity, a guide for calculations

Peter Collas, David Klein

In these informal lecture notes we outline different approaches used in doing calculations involving the Dirac equation in curved spacetime. We have tried to clarify the subject by…

Dirac particles in a gravitational shock wave

Peter Collas, David Klein

Using the Newman-Penrose formalism we calculate the positive energy momentum eigenstates of the Dirac equation for a plane polarized grav- itational wave pulse. We then consider Di…

Pre-big bang geometric extensions of inflationary cosmologies

David Klein, Jake Reschke

Robertson-Walker spacetimes within a large class are geometrically extended to larger cosmologies that include spacetime points with zero and negative cosmological times. In the ex…

Velocity addition formulas in Robertson-Walker spacetimes

David Klein, Jake Reschke

Universal velocity addition formulas analogous to the well-known formula in special relativity are found for four geometrically defined relative velocities in a large class of Robe…
