Rotating fermions inside a cylindrical boundary

Understand

We study a quantum fermion field inside a cylinder in Minkowski space-time.

• On the surface of the cylinder, the fermion field satisfies either spectral or MIT bag boundary conditions.
• We define rigidly-rotating quantum states in both cases, assuming that the radius of the cylinder is sufficiently small that the speed-of-light surface is excluded from the space-time.
• With this assumption, we calculate rigidly-rotating thermal expectation values of the fermion condensate, neutrino charge current and stress-energy tensor relative to the bounded vacuum state.
