… We derive an effective Hamiltonian for a particle confined to a thin tube which is gently twisted and curved to form a closed loop. … The Hamiltonian describes the effect of both the curvature and the torsion of the loop correctly to the second order. … Applied to the case of a tube of circular cross section, it reveals complete analogy with the Aharonov-Bohm effect. …
