THE DIRAC EQUATION IN D-DIMENSIONAL SPHERICALLY SYMMETRIC SPACETIMES

We expound in detail a method frequently used to reduce the Dirac equation in D-dimensional (D≥4) spherically symmetric spacetimes to a pair of coupled partial differential equations in two variables. As a simple application of these results we exactly calculate the quasinormal frequencies of the un...

Sumario:We expound in detail a method frequently used to reduce the Dirac equation in D-dimensional (D≥4) spherically symmetric spacetimes to a pair of coupled partial differential equations in two variables. As a simple application of these results we exactly calculate the quasinormal frequencies of the uncharged Dirac field propagating in the Ddimensional Nariai spacetime.
