AbstractThe problems of modeling of the rotational motion of the Earth are considered in the framework of general relativity. Both, rigid and deformable bodies are discussed. Rigorous definitions of the tensor of inertia, Tisserand-like axes and the angular velocity of rotation of an extended deformable body moving and rotating in external gravitational fields are proposed in the first post-Newtonian approximation. The implications of these post-Newtonian definitions on modeling of Earth rotation are analyzed.

A phenomenological theory, based on a relativistically covariant generalization of Maxwell's equations to include gravitational fields, is developed to account for the magnetic fields of massive rotating bodies. The equations yield the Wilson–Blackett expression for the magnetic moment of the earth and stars but give no magnetic field for mass-bodies moving without rotation in their own gravitational fields. They indicate that the magnetic field due to the motion of the earth in its orbit is negligibly small compared to the field due to its rotational motion, and they provide a possible explanation for the variable magnetic fields of light-variable stars.
