Rotational effects on the Casimir energy in the space-time with one extra compactified dimension

In this paper we study the quantization of a massless scalar field in a rotating frame. In particular, we obtain the Casimir energy in a space time with one extra compactified dimension for a rotating observer. We consider a uniformly rotating system on the circle Sr and present an equation for spin-0 bosons where noninertial effects can be taken into account. It is shown that the spectrum of the scalar field depends on the angular velocity of the rotating system and in this way, positive and negative modes can be defined through an appropriate choice of the angular velocity. We show that noninertial effects restrict the physical region of the space time where particles can be placed, and furthermore that the Casimir energy in the space time with one extra compactified dimension is shifted by these effects. In addition, we pointed out that rotating effects modify the length of the extra dimension for a co-rotating observer in this kind of space time.
