Comment on: "Relativistic quantum dynamics of a charged particle in cosmic string spacetime in the presence of magnetic field and scalar potential''. Eur. Phys. J. C (2012) 72:2051

Abstract

We analyze the results of a paper on ``Relativistic quantum dynamics of a charged particle in cosmic string spacetime in the presence of magnetic field and scalar potential''. We show that the authors did not obtain the spectrum of the eigenvalue equation but only one eigenvalue for a specific relationship between model parameters. In particular, the existence of allowed cyclotron frequencies conjectured by the authors is a mere artifact of the truncation condition used to obtain exact solutions to the radial eigenvalue equation.
