The variational principle for the uniform
acceleration and quasi-spin in two dimensional space-time.

Zbl 1133.53017
Summary: The variational principle and the
corresponding differential equation for geodesic circles in two
dimensional (pseudo)-Riemannian space are discovered. The
relationship with the physical notion of uniformly accelerated
relativistic particles is emphasized. The known form of
spin-curvature interaction emerges due to the presence of second
order derivatives in the expression for the Lagrange function. The
variational equation itself reduces to the unique invariant
variational equation of constant Frenet curvature in two
dimensional (pseudo)-Euclidean geometry.
