TL;DR

This paper investigates the induced bosonic current densities in a high-dimensional AdS spacetime with a cosmic string and a compactified extra dimension, revealing how magnetic fluxes influence azimuthal and axial currents.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of bosonic currents in a high-dimensional AdS spacetime with cosmic string and compactification, including new contributions from the compactification effect.

Findings

Azimuthal current has two contributions: standard and compactification-induced.

Axial current depends on magnetic fluxes and vanishes without flux in certain conditions.

Explicit asymptotic expressions for current densities in specific limits.

Abstract

In this paper, we analyse the bosonic current densities induced by a magnetic flux running along the core of an idealized cosmic string in a high-dimensional AdS spacetime, admitting that an extra dimension coordinate is compactified. Additionally we admit the presence of a magnetic flux enclosed by the compactified axis. In order to develop this analysis we calculate the complete set of normalized bosonic wave-functions obeying a quasiperiodicity condition, with arbitrary phase $\beta$, along the compactified extra dimension. In this context, only azimuthal and axial currents densities take place. As to the azimuthal current, two contributions appear. The first one corresponds to the standard azimuthal current in high-dimensional AdS spacetime with a cosmic string without compactification while the second contribution is a new one, induced by the compactification itself. The latter is an even function of the magnetic flux enclosed by the compactified axis and is an odd function of the magnetic flux along its core with period equal to quantum flux, $\Phi_0=2\pi/e$. On the other hand, the nonzero axial current density is an even function of the magnetic flux along the core of the string and an odd function of the magnetic flux enclosed by the compactified axis. We also find that the axial current density vanishes for untwisted and twisted bosonic fields in the absence of the magnetic flux enclosed by the compactified axis. Some asymptotic expressions for the current density are provided for specific limiting cases of the physical parameter of the model.
