Let us consider the following Gedankenexperiment:
A cylinder rotates symmetric around the z axis with angular velocity Ω and a plane wave with E, B∝ei(kx−ωt) gets scattered by it.
We assume to know the isotropic permittivity ϵ(ω) and permeability μ(ω) of the cylinder's material at rest. Furthermore, the cylinder is infinitely long in z-direction.
The static problem (Ω=0) can be treated in terms of Mie Theory - here, however, one will need a covariant description of the system for very fast rotations (which are assumed to be possible) causing nontrivial transformations of ϵ and μ.
Hence my question:
What is the scattering response to a plane wave on a fastly rotating cylinder?
