Gravitomagnetic Stern--Gerlach Force
arXiv:2102.06433 · doi:10.3390/e23040445
Abstract
A heuristic description of the spin-rotation-gravity coupling is presented and the implications of the corresponding gravitomagnetic Stern--Gerlach force are briefly mentioned. It is shown, within the framework of linearized general relativity, that the gravitomagnetic Stern--Gerlach force reduces in the appropriate correspondence limit to the classical Mathisson spin-curvature force.
