Recent Progress on the Description of Relativistic Spin: Vector Model of Spinning Particle and Rotating Body with Gravimagnetic Moment in General Relativity by Alexei A. Deriglazov, Walberto Guzmán Ramírez

“…We describe a number of applications and show how the vector model clarifies some issues presented in theoretical description of a relativistic spin: (A) one-particle relativistic quantum mechanics with positive energies and its relation with the Dirac equation and with relativistic Zitterbewegung; (B) spin-induced noncommutativity and the problem of covariant formalism; (C) three-dimensional acceleration consistent with coordinate-independence of the speed of light in general relativity and rainbow geometry seen by spinning particle; (D) paradoxical behavior of the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Tulczyjew-Dixon equations of a rotating body in ultrarelativistic limit, and equations with improved behavior.…”

“…Of the two adaptations it is Greig’s that manifests the most dialogical relationship to the Shakespearean source: by offering an alternative sequel to the play which puts the Scottish fight for independence centre-stage, Greig offers a critical reading of Macbeth, implicitly that the question of English imperialism is a blind spot in Shakespeare’s play.…”
