Abstract

The Dirac equation is separated, by separation of variables, in the Schwarzschild space-time. The radial equations are reduced to a pair of decoupled ordinary differential equations of the second order. Asymptotic behaviours of the radial solutions are determined. A covariant scalar product between states is considered that is induced by the conserved current. It is shown that a class of states exist that are bound with respect to the scalar product. The states characterized by asymptotic polynomial-like behaviour are associated to a Hydrogen-like energy spectrum.
