The right-hand side doesn't look dimensionally consistent to me. Could it be that the argument of the ##ln## function should be something like ##|r/r^* - 1|## instead of ##|r - r^*|##?

It's a bit hard to check your work since you haven't indicated how ##p## and ##q## are defined.
 
oops! my mistake! p and q is defined ...

i finally got a clue with your comment about dimensions!
For consistency of dimension, i think r-r* of (8.13) should be r/r*-1

Yes, things seem to work out better with the r/r*-1 form.

I'm not very familiar with Kruskal coordinates. Sean Carroll's notes on GR are freely available on the internet.

He discusses Kruskal coordinates in this chapter:
https://preposterousuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/grnotes-seven.pdf
The relevant material starts around page 182. Note equation (7.74) on page 186. I think his ##\tilde u## and ##\tilde v## are similar to your ##p## and ##q##, and his ##u'## and ##v'## are essentially your ##p'## and ##q'##. (But I believe Carroll is missing an overall negative sign in his expressions for ##v'## in (7.75) and (7.76). He corrects this in his published textbook.).
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
