Finite Action Klein-Gordon Solutions on Lorentzian Manifolds
Abstract
The eigenvalue problem for the square integrable solutions is studied usually for elliptic equations. In this note we consider such a problem for the hyperbolic Klein-Gordon equation on Lorentzian manifolds. The investigation could help to answer the question why elementary particles have a discrete mass spectrum. An infinite family of square integrable solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation on the Friedman type manifolds is constructed. These solutions have a discrete mass spectrum and a finite action. In particular the solutions on de Sitter space are investigated.
