Title: Third-order relativistic dynamics: classical spinning particle travelling in a plane

Author(s): Matsyuk, R.

Source: Condensed Matter Physics vol.1, no.3(15) : 453-62, 1998

Language: English

Treatment: Theoretical or Mathematical

Abstract: Mathisson's "new mechanics" of a relativistic spinning particle is shown to follow in the case of planar motion, from only general requirements of relativistic invariance and of the dependence on third order derivatives along with the "variationality" feature. The hamiltonian counterpart ultimately recovers the Dixon equations for this case with the Pirani supplementary condition.
