Abstract

New representation of the exact Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations at the Mathisson-Pirani condition in the Kerr metric which does not contain the third-order derivatives of the coordinates of a spinning particle is obtained. For this purpose the integrals of energy and angular momentum of the spinning particle as well as a differential relationship following from the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations are used. The form of these equations is adapted for their computer integration with the aim of further investigations of the influence of the spin-curvature interaction on the particle's behavior in the gravitational field without restrictions on its velocity and spin orientation.
