Evolution of an interacting fermion–antifermion pair in the near-horizon of the BTZ black hole

Abstract

AbstractIn this study, we investigate the evolution of a composite system comprising a fermion–antifermion pair engaged in Cornell-type non-minimal interaction in the near-horizon region of a BTZ black hole. Our exploration involves the derivation of an exact solution for the covariant two-body Dirac equation, derived from quantum electrodynamics through the action principle. To commence our analysis, we formulate the relevant equation, resulting in a $$4\times 4$$ 4 × 4 dimensional matrix equation that governs the relative motion of the fermion–antifermion pair. Notably, we demonstrate that this matrix equation results in an exactly solvable wave equation, enabling us to determine the relativistic frequency modes for this spinless static composite system. Our findings unveil a temporal decay in these modes, with the decay time explicitly dependent on both the inter-particle interaction and the spacetime parameters. Our comprehensive examination extends to a detailed analysis of the system’s evolution, shedding light on the influence of inter-particle interaction on the evolution of a fermion–antifermion pair in the near-horizon region of the BTZ black hole.
