Summary

The general-relativistic version of a classical model of an extended electron has been worked out. The main interesting properties of the special-relativistic version are formally maintained in general relativity. Small corrections to the mass and radius of the particle due to gravitational effects have been calculated to first order.

Riassunto

Si è elaborata la versione secondo la relatività generale di un modello classico dell’elettrone esteso. Le principali proprietà interessanti della versione secondo la relatività ristretta si conservano formalmente in relatività generale. Si sono calcolate al primo ordine piccole correzioni alla massa ed al raggio della particella dovute ad effetti gravitazionali.

Резюме

Был рассмотрен вариа нт, использующий общу ю теорию относительн ости, для классической модели протяженного электр она. Основные предста вляющие интерес свойства варианта сп ециальной теории отн осительности формал ьно сохраняются в общей теории относит ельности. В первом пор ядке были вычислены м алые поправки к массе и радиусу части цы, обусловленные гра витационными эффект ами.
