Scientific paper

Previous work on spin, rotation, and quantum effects in gravitation is surveyed, with particular emphasis on the gravitational two-body interaction, both for elementary particles and for macroscopic bodies. Applications considered include (1) the precession of a gyroscope, (2) rotational effects on the equations of motion for the orbit, (3) binary systems, particularly the binary pulsar PSR 1913 + 16, and (4) the prospects of measuring spin-orbit and spin-spin forces in the laboratory. In addition, the quantum effects that arise in the interaction between elementary particles are discussed. In particular, attention is given to the potentially decisive role of these forces in high-density matter, with emphasis on the fact that repulsive forces arise that may prevent gravitational collapse. Finally, the additional quantum terms are considered that are present if one works with a generalization of Einstein's theory, the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory of gravitation, in which the spin of matter, as well as its mass, plays a dynamical role.
