Quantum mechanics had been started with the theory of the hydrogen atom, so when considering the quantum mechanics in Riemannian spaces it is natural to turn first to just this simplest system. A common quantum-mechanical hydrogen atom description is based materially on the assumption of the Euclidean character of the physical 3-space geometry. In this context, natural questions arise: what in the description is determined by this special assumption, and which changes will be entailed by allowing for other spatial geometries. The questions are of fundamental significance, even beyond their possible experimental testing. In the present book, detailed analytical treatment and exact solutions are given to a number of problems of quantum mechanics and field theory in simplest non-Euclidean spacetime models. The main attention is focused on new themes created by non-vanishing curvature in classical physical topics and concepts.
