Recent theoretical and experimental works on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) haverevealed that spin-orbit interaction (SOI) is more robust than it was thought.Motivated by this, we investigate the SOI in helically coiled CNTs.Calculations are performed within the tight-binding model with the inclusion ofa four-orbital basis set; thereby the full symmetry of the helical lattice andthe hybridization of $\pi $\ and $\sigma $ bands are considered. By virtue ofunitary transformation and perturbation approach, we obtain the analyticsolution for the torsion-dependent SOI in helically coiled CNTs. Due to theenhancement of curvature and torsion, the calculated SOI values reach the orderof meV which has been confirmed by \textit{ab initio} electronic structurecalculation.
