Dirac oscillator in a helically twisted spacetime with axial torsion

We investigate the Dirac oscillator in a helically twisted spacetime endowed with a uniform axial torsion. Starting from an orthonormal coframe, we compute the Levi–Civita spin connection explicitly and separate the geometric contribution from the axial contortion. Retaining the matrix $\beta$ in the radial Moshinsky coupling, we show that the second-order problem is the ordered product ${\widehat{\mathrm{\Pi }}}_{+}{\widehat{\mathrm{\Pi }}}_{-}$ rather than the square of a single operator. The resulting radial dynamics is a coupled, self-adjoint two-component system in which the spin connection supplies the correct cylindrical radial operator, while the off-diagonal metric generates the helical combination $m\mathrm{/}r-\omega k$ and a Coulomb-like geometric term. A finite-element solution reproduces the planar Dirac-oscillator spectrum in the flat limit and reveals asymmetric dependence on the longitudinal momentum, avoided level crossings, and a supersymmetric zero mode at $E=M{c}^2$. The axial torsion and longitudinal momentum preserve this zero mode, whereas the helical twist lifts it quadratically. Sector-resolved thermodynamic functions are obtained from the relativistic bound-state spectrum. The explicit spinors further determine longitudinal vector and axial currents, and a Witten-index analysis identifies the helical twist as the deformation that removes the protected zero mode.
