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 conta...

Sumario: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 two terms, a common linear rotation, identified with Thomas precession, and also a nonlinear rotation depending on the direction of the spin itself.
