SPINNING TEST PARTICLES AND THE MOTION OF A GYROSCOPE ACCORDING TO THE NONSYMMETRIC GRAVITATION THEORY

The motion of spinning test particles is derived in the nonsymmetric gravitation theory using the field equations of matter and the methods of Papapetrou. The predictions for the precession of a torque-free gyroscope in the gravitational field of the Earth, Jupiter, and the Sun are obtained and compared with the predictions of Einstein's gravitation theory. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
