Abstract: In this paper, we study the influence of topological and noninertial effects on a Dirac particle confined in an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring. Next, we explicitly determine the Dirac spinor and the energy spectrum for the relativistic bound states. We observe that this spectrum depends on the quantum number $n$, magnetic flux $Phi$ of the ring, angular velocity $omega$ associated to the noninertial effects of a rotating frame, and on the deficit angle $eta$ associated to the topological effects of a cosmic string. We verified that this spectrum is a periodic function and grows in values as a function of $n$, $Phi$, $omega$, and $eta$. In the nonrelativistic limit, we obtain the equation of motion for the particle, where now the topological effects are generated by a conic space. However, unlike relativistic case, the spectrum of this equation depends linearly on the velocity $omega$ and decreases in values as a function of $omega$. Comparing our results with other works, we note that our problem generalizes some particular cases of the literature. For instance, in the absence of the topological and noninertial effects ($eta=1$ and $omega=0$) we recover the usual spectrum of a particle confined in an AB ring ($Phieq0$) or in an 1D quantum ring ($Phi=0$).
