On the nonminimal vector coupling in the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory and the confinement of massive bosons by a linear potential

TL;DR: In this article, the vector couplings in the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) theory have been revised and it is shown that minimal and nonminimal vector potentials behave differently under charge-conjugation and time-reversal transformations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum dynamics of scalar bosons in a cosmic string background

TL;DR: In this article, scalar bosons are described by the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) formalism and the effects of topological defect in the equation of motion, energy spectrum, and DKP spinor are analyzed and discussed in detail.

On the nonminimal vector coupling in the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory and the confinement of massive bosons by a linear potential

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nonminimal vector potentials have been erroneously applied to the description of elastic meson-nucleus scatterings and that the space component of the non-minimum vector potential plays a crucial role for the confinement of bosons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spinless bosons embedded in a vector Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau oscillator

TL;DR: In this paper, the conservation of the total angular momentum for spherically symmetric nonminimal potentials is derived from its commutation properties with each term of the DKP equation and proper boundary conditions on the spinors are imposed.

Remarks on the spin-one Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation in the presence of nonminimal vector interactions in (3+1) dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors point out a misleading treatment in the recent literature regarding analytical solutions for nonminimal vector interaction for spin-one particles in the context of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau formalism.

Quantum Theory of Einstein-Bose Particles and Nuclear Interaction

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the nuclear field is not identical with the electron-neutrino field of Fermi's theory, the magnitude of nuclear forces being far too large to be compatible with the small empirical value of the constant of β -decay.

- 01 Jan 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the use of the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) relativistic equation for practical calculations and derive the system of first-order coupled differential radial equations which enable the energy eigenvalues as well as the full wavefunctions to be evaluated.

Noncausal propagation in spin-0 theories with external field interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the causal properties of higher-spin spin equations were analyzed in 2(2J + 1)-component Schroedinger form, where the coefficients of all the space derivatives depend on the external field.

Consistency of spin-1 theories in external electromagnetic fields

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether, by making the anomalous terms (introduced into the Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau equation) sufficiently general, it is possible to escape these inconsistencies.
