Abstract

We analyse the Schrödinger operator for a quantum scalar particle in a curved spacetime which is fibred over absolute time and is equipped with given spacelike metric, gravitational field and electromagnetic field. We approach the Schrödinger operator in three independent ways: in terms of covariant differentials induced by the quantum connection, via a quantum Lagrangian and directly by the only requirement of general covariance. In particular, in the flat case, our Schrödinger operator coincides with the standard one.
