The quantum dynamics of scalar bosons embedded in the background of a cosmic
string is considered. In this work, scalar bosons are described by the
Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) formalism. In particular, the effects of this
topological defect in the equation of motion, energy spectrum and DKP spinor
are analyzed and discussed in details. The exact solutions for the DKP
oscillator in this background are presented in a closed form.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
