Quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames: Time-dependent rotations and loop prolongations

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the incorporation of rotational accelerations requires a class of loop prolongations of the Galilean line group and their unitary cocycle representations.

Fictitious forces and simulated magnetic fields in rotating reference frames.

TL;DR: The phase shifts due to the rotation of Earth that have been observed in neutron interferometry experiments and the rotational effects that lead to simulated magnetic fields in optical lattices can be rigorously derived from the representations of the loop prolongations of the Galilean line group.

Newton-Cartan Gravity in Noninertial Reference Frames

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ricci field equation and Gauss law are both fulfilled by the same physical matter density in inertial and linearly accelerating reference frames, but there appears a discrepancy between the two in rotating reference frames.

Quantum mechanics in noninertial reference frames: Relativistic accelerations and fictitious forces

TL;DR: In this paper, one-particle systems in relativistically accelerating reference frames can be associated with a class of unitary representations of the group of arbitrary coordinate transformations, an extension of the Wigner-Bargmann definition of particles as the physical realization of a unitary irreducible representation of the Poincare group.
