Abstract

General conditions are formulated within the framework of general relativity for “suspension” of rotating particles in static gravitational fields having the form of systems of differential equations for the components of the spin tensor. In the special case of suspension of particles in gravitational fields created by nonrotating objects, the spin components are a superposition of quantities which vary harmonically over time. As an example the effect of suspension of a spin particle within a gravitating liquid sphere is considered.
