  text: We study a mobile quantum impurity, possessing internal rotational degrees
    of freedom, confined to a ring in the presence of a many-particle bosonic bath.
    By considering the recently introduced rotating polaron problem, we define the
    Hamiltonian and examine the energy spectrum. The weak-coupling regime is studied
    by means of a variational ansatz in the truncated Fock space. The corresponding
    spectrum indicates that there emerges a coupling between the internal and orbital
    angular momenta of the impurity as a consequence of the phonon exchange. We interpret
    the coupling as a phonon-mediated spin-orbit coupling and quantify it by using
    a correlation function between the internal and the orbital angular momentum operators.
    The strong-coupling regime is investigated within the Pekar approach, and it is
    shown that the correlation function of the ground state shows a kink at a critical
    coupling, that is explained by a sharp transition from the noninteracting state
    to the states that exhibit strong interaction with the surroundings. The results
    might find applications in such fields as spintronics or topological insulators
    where spin-orbit coupling is of crucial importance.
