Abstract:
The first and the second order differential equations are derived which are invariant under the Galilei group and describe the motion of a particle with arbitrary spin. These equations admit the Lagrangian formulation and describe the dipole, spin-orbital and Darwin couplings of a particle with external electromagnetic field which are considered traditionally as pure relativistic effects. The problem of the motion of spin 1/2 nonrelativistic particle in an external electromagnetic field is exactly solved.
