Notes:
A quantum scalar particle is considered in the following background gravitational fields due to (a) a tubular matter source with axial interior magnetic field and vanishing exterior magnetic field; (b) slowly moving mass currents (weak approximation); and (c) a spinning cosmic string. It is shown that in the flat space-time around these sources, the energy spectrum and wave function of the particle depend on the amount of matter and magnetic field (tubular matter source case), on the velocity of the moving mass currents, and on the angular momentum in the spinning cosmic string case. These represent gravitational analogs of the Aharonov–Bohm effect in electrodynamics and are due to global (topological) features of the background space-times under consideration.
