Spinning test-particles in general relativity. I

E. Corinaldesi

Abstract

Abstract A method for the derivation of the equations of motion of test particles in a given gravitational field is developed. The equations of motion of spinning test particles are derived. The transformation properties are discussed and the equations of motion are written in a covariant form.
