On the dynamics of classical particle with spin

Abstract

The complete explicitly covariant 4-dimensional description of the dynamics of a free classical particle with spin within the framework of the special relativity theory is presented. The key point of our approach is the the introduction of the new vector field which enables to define the analogues of the mean spin and position variables. The supplementary conditions are discussed and it is demonstrated that the Frenkel condition unambiguously determines the dynamics of a spinning particle.
