On a generalized gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect
A massless spinor particle is considered in the background gravitational
field due to a rotating body. In the weak field approximation it is shown that
the solution of the Weyl equations depend on the angular momentum of the
rotating body, which does not affect the curvature in this approximation. This
result may be looked upon as a generalization of the gravitational
Aharonov-Bohm effect.Comment: 10 pages, LATEX fil
