Relativistic Rotation of the Rigid Body in the Rodrigues – Hamilton Parameters: Lagrange Function and Equations of Motion

Abstract

Abstract The main purposes of this research are to obtain Lagrange function for the relativistic rotation of the rigid body, which is generated by metric properties of Riemann space of general relativity and to derive the differential equations, determining the rigid body rotation in the terms of the Rodrigues - Hamilton parameters. The Lagrange function for the relativistic rotation of the rigid body is derived from the Lagrange function of the nonrotation point of masses system in the relativistic approximation.
