Comment on Internal Frame Dragging and a Global Analog of the Aharonov-Bohm Effect

TL;DR

This paper discusses how Aharonov-Bohm-like effects can arise from symmetry breaking mechanisms that do not need infinite energy, angular dependence, or nontrivial $Z_2$ charges, offering a new perspective on internal frame dragging.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to generating AB-like effects through symmetry breaking without the usual energy or topological constraints.

Findings

AB-like cross sections can be obtained from symmetry breaking without infinite energy.

Symmetry breaking can produce angular dependence similar to AB effects.

The approach does not require nontrivial $Z_2$ charges.

Abstract

It is shown that AB-like cross sections can be obtained from symmetry breaking which does not require infinite energy, angular dependence in the symmetry breaking term, or a nontrivial $Z_2$ charge.
