Abstract

Relativistic quantum mechanics of free fermions in the presence of the spiral dislocation of space–time with a distortion of a radial line into a spiral is studied within the Katanaev–Volovich geometric approach. The generalized Dirac equation in this background is constructed. Exact closed-form solutions are found by reducing the problem to that of a nonrelativistic two-dimensional [Formula: see text]-problem with a complex coupling constant. The influence of the defect parameter related to the spiral dislocation on these solutions is investigated. We also study the charge density of free fermions in the presence of such a spiral dislocation in space–time. Based on the Bender–Boettcher approach for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians we study, in addition, bound-state solutions of the system.
