Abstract
In this paper we give a brief outline of the applications of the generalized Heun equation (GHE) in the context of quantum field theory in curved spacetimes. In particular, we relate the separated radial part of a massive Dirac equation in the Kerr-Newman metric to the static perturbations for the non-extremal Reissner-Nordström solution to a GHE.
