Algebraic approach and coherent states for a relativistic quantum particle in cosmic string spacetime

Abstract

We study a relativistic quantum particle in cosmic string spacetime in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and a Coulomb-type scalar potential. It is shown that the radial part of this problem possesses the $su(1,1)$ symmetry. We obtain the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of this problem by using two algebraic methods: the Schr\"odinger factorization and the tilting transformation. Finally, we give the explicit form of the relativistic coherent states for this problem.
