Nonlinear effects in Thomas precession due to the interplay of Lorentz contraction and Thomas–Wigner rotation

Nonlinear effects in Thomas precession due to the interplay of Lorentz contraction and Thomas–Wigner rotation

It is demonstrated that the 3-vector [Formula: see text] currently associated to the spin in an inertial frame does not contract, but rather dilates, in the direction of the velocity. The correct vector [Formula: see text] is individuated. The equation of motion for the two vectors is shown to contain …
