Effects of rotation in the spacetime with a distortion of a vertical line into a vertical spiral

Abstract

It is investigated the effects of rotation on the scalar field in the spacetime with the distortion of a vertical line into a vertical spiral. By analysing the upper limit of the radial coordinate that stems from the effects of rotation and the topology of the defect, it is considered this upper limit of the radial coordinate as a boundary condition analogous to a hard-wall confining potential. Then, it is obtained a relativistic spectrum of energy in a particular case. In addition, it is analysed a relativistic analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for bound states.
