On the relativistic dynamics of spinning matter in space-time with curvature and torsion
Description
A variational formalism is developed for conservative systems with internal degrees of freedom in a space-time with curvature and torsion. Lagrange's translational and rotational equations of motion are obtained as well as expressions for the energy-momentum and spin angular momentum tensors; Noether's identities are derived. Some properties of the developed formalism are studied in greater detail. (author)
