Abstract
A massless spinor particle is considered in the background gravitational field due to a rotating body. In the weak field approximation it is shown that the solution of the Weyl equations depend on the angular momentum of the rotating body, which does not affect the curvature in this approximation. This result may be looked upon as a generalization of the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect.
