Abstract

We show for the first time the role played by the hypergeneralized Heun equation (HHE) in the context of quantum field theory in curved space-times. More precisely, we find suitable transformations relating the separated radial and angular parts of a massive Dirac equation in the Kerr-Newman-deSitter metric to a HHE.
