TRANSLATION OF SPIN IN LOBACHEVSKY SPACE (in Russian)

Reactions and decays can be described in such a way that upon change of coordinate system the spin does not undergo a Lorentz transformation but a translation on a hyperboloid surface in veiocity space. In this case the spin remains a three-dimensional vector and the whole theory of spin effects (addition of spins and their change during scattering) reduces to ordinary nonrelativistic theory. The only correction arises as a result of relativistic spin-orbit coupling (Thomas precession) and can be calcuiated on basis of simple geometrical considerations. (auth)
