Spin precession along circular orbits in the Kerr spacetime: the Frenet-Serret description

Abstract

The circular motion of spinning massive test particles in the equatorial plane of a rotating black hole is investigated in the case in which the components of the spin tensor are allowed to vary along the orbit.
