New developments in the Hamiltonian treatment of spinning objects in general relativity — •Gerhard Schäfer — Theoretisch-Physikalisches Institut, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena

The talk reviews recent achievements in the analytical treatmet of pole-dipole particles in general relativity based on canonical variables. Various higher order post-Newtonian Hamiltonians with spin are presented. The global Poincar'e algebra will be constructed on the post-Newtonian orders in question. The local stress-energy-tensor algebra will be given attention too.
