| contents | In this study, we analytically examine the behavior of a fermion-antifermion pair near the horizon of a static BTZ black hole using a fully covariant two-body Dirac equation with a position-dependent mass. This formulation leads to a set of four first-order equations that can be reduced to a second-order wave equation, enabling the analysis of gravitational effects on quantum interactions. Two mass modifications are considered: (i) \(m \rightarrow m - a/r\), representing an attractive Coulomb interaction, and (ii) \(m \rightarrow m - a/r + b r\), corresponding to a Cornell potential. For case (i), an exact analytical solution is obtained, while for case (ii), conditionally exact solutions involving biconfluent Heun functions are derived. For the lowest mode (\(n=0\)), the results indicate that real oscillations without energy loss occur when \(a > 0.25\) in scenario (i) and \(a > 0.75\) in scenario (ii), suggesting stable oscillatory behavior. When \(a < 0.25\) in scenario (i) or \(a < 0.75\) in scenario (ii), the state exhibits decay, indicating instability below these critical thresholds. At \(a = 0.25\) (scenario (i)) and \(a = 0.75\) (scenario (ii)), the system reaches a state where its evolution ceases over time. These findings provide insights into the stability conditions of fermion-antifermion pairs near the black hole horizon and may have relevance for determining critical coupling strengths in systems such as holographic superconductors. Furthermore, this work adopts an effective semi-classical quantum gravity approach, offering a practical framework for incorporating gravitational effects. |
