Description for rotating $C_{60}$ fullerenes via G\"odel-type metric
  In this contribution a geometric approach to describe a rotating fullerene molecule with Ih symmetry is developed. We analyze the quantum dynamics of quasiparticles in continuum limit considering a description of fullerene in a spherical solution of the G\"odel-type space-time with a topological defect. As a result, we study the molecule in a rotating frame. Also we combine the well know non-Abelian monopole approach with this geometric description, including the case of the presence of the external Aharonov-Bohm flux. The energy levels and the persistent current for this study are obtained, and we show that they depend on the geometrical and topological properties of the fullerene. Also, we verify recovering of the well known results for limiting cases.
