Quantum healing of classical singularities in power-law spacetimes
T. M. Helliwell, D. A. Konkowski
We study a broad class of spacetimes whose metric coefficients reduce to powers of a radius r in the limit of small r. Among these four-parameter "power-law" metrics we identify th…

Classical and Quantum Singularities of Levi-Civita Spacetimes with and without a Positive Cosmological Constant
D. A. Konkowski, C. Reese, T. M. Helliwell +1
Levi-Civita spacetimes have classical naked singularities. They also have quantum singularities. Quantum singularities in general relativistic spacetimes are determined by the beha…

Quantum Singularities
D. A. Konkowski, T. M. Helliwell, C. Wieland
The definitions of classical and quantum singularities in general relativity are reviewed. The occurence of quantum mechanical singularities in certain spherically symmetric and cy…
