Abstract

We investigate a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Klein--Gordon (KG) oscillator in a $(3+1)$-dimensional Lorentz-violating (LV) traversable wormhole spacetime. The geometry is characterized by a smooth throat of radius $a$ and a constant lapse function, $\mathcal{A}(x)=1$, so that no Killing horizons occur and the two asymptotic regions at \(x\to \pm\infty\) remain connected through the throat. The Lorentz violation modifies the radial geometry and the oscillator scale according to $\widetildeΩ=Ω/\sqrt{1-ζ}$. A nonminimal non-Hermitian coupling, $\mathcal{F}_t(x)=i\widetildeΩx$, leads to a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric KG oscillator with a regular effective potential at the throat and a quadratic confinement at large $|x|$. The radial equation can be mapped to the confluent Heun equation, and polynomial truncation gives a conditionally exactly solvable sector in which the oscillator frequency, throat radius, LV parameter, angular momentum, and radial quantum number satisfy algebraic constraints. For the degree-1 sector, these conditions restrict the allowed angular momenta and correlate them with the LV parameter. The resulting bound-state energies are real and discrete, with exact particle--antiparticle symmetry, $E^{-}=-E^{+}$, while the corresponding wave functions are regular and localized on the two-sided wormhole geometry. These results show how Lorentz violation and the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric coupling modify the relativistic bound-state spectrum through the geometry of the wormhole.

Klein-Gordon Oscillator with Linear-Fractional Deformed Mass-Shell Invariants in Doubly Special Relativity

Abdelmalek Boumali, Nosratollah Jafari

We study the Klein--Gordon (KG) oscillator in a doubly special relativity (DSR) framework, where the mass-shell condition is deformed through a linear--fractional (Möbius-type) modification of the Casimir invariant. This is induced by a nonlinear map from physical momenta $p^μ$ to auxiliary Lorentz-covariant variables $π^μ$. In $(1+1)$ dimensions, the deformation is controlled by a constant covector $a_μ$, yielding inequivalent realizations depending on whether $a_μ$ is timelike, spacelike, or lightlike. Implementing the KG oscillator via a reverted-product nonminimal coupling, we obtain exact closed-form spectra and explicit eigensolutions for both particle and antiparticle branches across all three geometries. Timelike and lightlike deformations produce identical spectra characterized by a Planck-suppressed additive displacement. This breaks the exact $E\leftrightarrow -E$ symmetry via a term linear in $E$, interpretable as a branch-independent reparametrization of the energy origin. Conversely, the spacelike deformation is strictly isospectral to the undeformed oscillator but generates complex-shifted wavefunctions and a non-Hermitian spatial operator. We provide a compact $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric and pseudo-Hermitian formulation by constructing an explicit similarity map $\mathcal{S}$ to a Hermitian oscillator, deriving the metric operator $η=\mathcal{S}^\dagger \mathcal{S}$, and establishing biorthonormal relations. Finally, we compare quantitatively with the Magueijo--Smolin (DSR2) model: the squared-denominator invariant leads to a larger Planck-suppressed displacement at fixed $m/E_{Pl}$, highlighting the denominator power's role in controlling spectral shifts. Representative plots illustrate the dependence on deformation ratio, oscillator strength, and excitation level.

Temporal-Plane Carroll--Schrödinger Dynamics and Vortex Sectors in (2,2) Klein Space

José Rojas, Melvin Arias

Motivated by the temporal dynamics identified in the $(1+1)$ Carroll-Schrödinger theory, we derive a post-Carrollian Schrödinger dynamics in flat Klein space with signature $(2,2)$. Starting from the tachyonic Klein-Gordon equation in double-polar coordinates and removing a spacelike carrier, the spatial radius behaves as an effective evolution parameter, whereas the temporal two-plane $(t_1,t_2)$ serves as the equal-radius configuration space. The additional time direction supplies an $SO(2)$ temporal angular momentum $J$, produces temporal vortex sectors, and gives the centrifugal contribution to the post-Carrollian momentum $P_{\mathrm{PC}}=E_τ^{2}/(2M_{\mathrm{eff}})+J^{2}/(2M_{\mathrm{eff}}τ^{2})$ in the Hamilton-Jacobi limit. We determine the regular Bessel modes, Gaussian packets, oscillator spectrum, radial $SU(1,1)$ tower, equal-$r$ continuity equation, $\mathfrak{sch}(2)$ symmetry algebra, radial-ordered propagator, and the metaplectic organization of the quadratic sectors. Effective flat connections on the temporal configuration plane give Aharonov-Bohm, Landau, and Fock-Darwin analogues, while the two-body relative sector admits anyonic boundary conditions on the punctured temporal plane. As a curved extension, we derive a branch-dependent carrier reduction and apply it to an illustrative $SO(2,1)$-symmetric Kleinian Schwarzschild exterior, where the Kleinian gravitational source produces a lensing-type angular deviation on the temporal plane.

Quantum Physics, Relativity, and Complex Spacetime: Towards a New Synthesis

Gerald Kaiser

The positivity of the energy in relativistic quantum mechanics implies that wave functions can be continued analytically to the forward tube T in complex spacetime. For Klein-Gordon particles, we interpret T as an extended (8D) classical phase space containing all 6D classical phase spaces as symplectic submanifolds. The evaluation maps $e_z: f\to f(z)$ of wave functions on T are relativistic coherent states reducing to the Gaussian coherent states in the nonrelativistic limit. It is known that no covariant probability interpretation exists for Klein-Gordon particles in real spacetime because the time component of the conserved "probability current" can attain negative values even for positive-energy solutions. We show that this problem is solved very naturally in complex spacetime, where $|f(x-iy)|^2$ is interpreted as a probability density on all 6D phase spaces in T which, when integrated over the "momentum" variables y, gives a conserved spacetime probability current whose time component is a positive regularization of the usual one. Similar results are obtained for Dirac particles, where the evaluation maps $e_z$ are spinor-valued relativistic coherent states. For free quantized Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields, the above formalism extends to n-particle/antiparticle coherent states whose scalar products are Wightman functions. The 2-point function plays the role of a reproducing kernel for the one-particle and antiparticle subspaces.

Effective-mass Klein–Gordon equation for non-PT/non-Hermitian generalized Morse potential

Altuḡ Arda, Ramazan Sever

The one-dimensional effective-mass Klein–Gordon equation for the real, and non-PT-symmetric/non-Hermitian generalized Morse potential is solved by taking a series expansion for the wave function. Energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained. They are also calculated for the constant mass case.

Klein--Gordon Dynamics from Intrinsic Phase Periodicity

Emiliano Puddu

This work develops a phase-based formulation of relativistic wave dynamics, demonstrating that the Klein--Gordon equation emerges naturally from the foundational assumption of intrinsic phase periodicity in material fields. Mapping the phase directly onto the classical action, we postulate that localized excitations possess an invariant rest-frame oscillation governed by a proper frequency $ω_0$. This physical condition establishes an operational mass-frequency relation, $m = \hbar ω_0 / c^2$, without requiring rest energy as an independent, axiomatic input. We show that the Klein--Gordon equation arises as the minimal local, linear, Lorentz-invariant field equation compatible with this internal phase structure. Within this framework, mass acts as an intrinsic frequency scale governing wave propagation, and relativistic kinematics is fully recovered as a structural consequence of phase coherence. This approach provides a unified wave-mechanical interpretation where particle dynamics maps onto the group velocity of dispersive wave packets, offering an intuitive account of free propagation, dispersion, and tunneling across potential barriers.

Fundamental Klein-Gordon Equation from Stochastic Mechanics in Curved Spacetime

Eric S. Escobar-Aguilar, Tonatiuh Matos, J. I. Jiménez-Aquino

Abstract This work presents an alternative approach to obtain the quantum field equations in curved spacetime, considering that sufficiently small particles follow stochastic trajectories around geodesic. Our proposal is based on a stochastic differential equation in which the noise term experienced by the quantum particles is a consequence of the stochastic background in spacetime. This fact allows the particles to describe erratic movements and locally the universe exhibits characteristics akin to a lake with gentle ripples rather than a flat unyielding surface. Building upon this foundational understanding, we investigate the influence of this background on quantum-scale particles without considering the metric to be stochastic, rather we let test particles move randomly around the geodesic of macroscopic particles. Their behavior aligns with solutions to the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation specific to this curved spacetime. As the KG equation, in its non-relativistic limit within a flat spacetime, reduces to the Schrödinger equation, consequently, we propose a compelling connection: the Schrödinger equation may emerge directly from a spacetime lacking local smoothness.

Non-Hermitian PT\mathcal{PT}PT symmetric Klein-Gordon fields in Lorentz-violating wormholes spacetime background
We investigate a PT\mathcal{PT}PT-symmetric Klein--Gordon (KG) oscillator in a (3+1)(3+1)(3+1)-dimensional Lorentz-violating (LV) traversable wormhole spacetime. The geometry is characterized by a smooth throat of radius aaa and a constant lapse function, A(x)=1\mathcal{A}(x)=1A(x)=1, so that no Killing horizons occur and the two asymptotic regions at (x\to \pm\infty) remain connected through the throat. The Lorentz violation modifies the radial geometry and the oscillator scale according to Ω~=Ω/1−ζ\widetildeΩ=Ω/\sqrt{1-ζ}Ω=Ω/1−ζ​. A nonminimal non-Hermitian coupling, Ft(x)=iΩ~x\mathcal{F}_t(x)=i\widetildeΩxFt​(x)=iΩx, leads to a PT\mathcal{PT}PT-symmetric KG oscillator with a regular effective potential at the throat and a quadratic confinement at large ∣x∣|x|∣x∣. The radial equation can be mapped to the confluent Heun equation, and polynomial truncation gives a conditionally exactly solvable sector in which the oscillator frequency, throat radius, LV parameter, angular momentum, and radial quantum number satisfy algebraic constraints. For the degree-1 sector, these conditions restrict the allowed angular momenta and correlate them with the LV parameter. The resulting bound-state energies are real and discrete, with exact particle--antiparticle symmetry, E−=−E+E^{-}=-E^{+}E−=−E+, while the corresponding wave functions are regular and localized on the two-sided wormhole geometry. These results show how Lorentz violation and the PT\mathcal{PT}PT-symmetric coupling modify the relativistic bound-state spectrum through the geometry of the wormhole.
