• Abstract: We compute the vacuum energy of a scalar field rotating with angular velocity $\Omega$ on a disk of radius $R$ and with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The rotation is introduced by a metric obtained by a Galilean transformation from a rest frame. The constraint $\Omega R<c$ must be obeyed to maintain causality. To compute the vacuum energy, we use an imaginary frequency representation and the well-known uniform asymptotic expansion of the Bessel function. We use the zeta-functional regularization and separate the divergent contributions, which we discuss in terms of the heat kernel coefficients. The divergences are found to be independent of rotation. The renormalized finite part of the vacuum energy is negative and becomes more negative for larger rotation frequencies.

  We extend previous results on the quantum vacuum or Casimir energy, for a non-interacting rotating system and for an interacting non-rotating system. We consider the simultaneous effect of rotation and interactions, including an explicit breaking of rotational symmetry. Our work shows that the simultaneous inclusion of rotation and interactions produces nontrivial changes in the quantum vacuum energy.
