Comment to: Corrections to the fine structure constant in the spacetime of a cosmic string from the generalized uncertainty principle

In the paper [F. Nasseri, Phys. Lett. B 632 (2006) 151--154], F. Nasseri supposed that the value of the angular momentum for the Bohr's atom in the presence of the cosmic string is quantized in units of ℏ. Using this assumption it was obtained an incorrect expression for Bohr radius in this scenario. In this comment I want to point out that this assumption is not correct and present a corrected expression for the Bohr radius in this background.Comment: This paper was published in Phys. Lett.

On a generalized gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect

A massless spinor particle is considered in the background gravitational field due to a rotating body. In the weak field approximation it is shown that the solution of the Weyl equations depend on the angular momentum of the rotating body, which does not affect the curvature in this approximation. This result may be looked upon as a generalization of the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect.Comment: 10 pages, LATEX fil

Non-relativistic quantum systems on topological defects space-times

We study the behavior of non-relativistic quantum particles interacting with different potentials in the space-times generated by a cosmic string and a global monopole. We find the energy spectra in the presence of these topological defects and show how they differ from their free space-time values.Comment: 17 pages, LATEX fil
