We prove that in the nonextreme Kerr-Newman black hole geometry, the Dirac equation has no normalizable, time-periodic solutions. A key tool is Chandrasekhar's separation of the Dirac equation in this geometry. A similar nonexistence theorem is established in a more general class of stationary, axis

Abstract
In this paper we consider bound state solutions, i.e., normalizable timeโperiodic solutions of the Dirac equation in an extreme Kerr black hole background with mass M and angular momentum J. It is shown that for each azimuthal quantum number k and for particular values of J the Dirac equation has a bound state solution, and that the energy of this Dirac particle is uniquely determined by $ \textstyle \omega = { {kM} \over {2J} } $. Moreover, we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of bound states in the extreme KerrโNewman geometry, and we give an explicit expression for the radial eigenfunctions in terms of Laguerre polynomials.

The angular eigenvalue in equation (2.16) should not be an integer but a half odd integer. The reason is that the transformation V from the Dirac operator in the symmetric frame to the usual Dirac operator in polar coordinates given at the end of Section 2.1 has a change of sign at ฯ = 0. Likewise,
A fully three-dimensional solution of the magneto-convection equations -the nonlinearly coupled momentum, induction and temperature equations -is presented in spherical geometry. Two very different methods for solving the momentum equation are presented, corresponding to the limits of slow and rapid
In this paper, we establish some further results on the asymptotic growth behaviour of entire solutions to iterated Dirac equations in R n . Solutions to this type of systems of partial di erential equations are often called polymonogenic or k-monogenic. In the particular cases where k is even, one
The application of standard multigrid methods for the solution of the NavierยฑStokes equations in complicated domains causes problems in two ways. First, coarsening is not possible to full extent since the geometry must be resolved by the coarsest grid used. Second, for semi-implicit time-stepping sc
