Scalar field in a uniformly rotating frame in the time-dislocation space–time

Abstract

We analyze the relativistic quantum effects induced by the topology associated with a time-dislocation space–time and produced by the angular velocity associated with a rotating reference frame, on a scalar field. The parameters related to the torsion of the dislocation and to the angular velocity of the rotating reference frame impose lower and upper limits of the radial coordinate. At these limiting values of the radial coordinate, boundary conditions are assumed, in order to determine the energy levels. We show that in this scenario, two interesting physical phenomena arise, namely, the Sagnac-like and the Aharonov–Bohm-like effects.
