Multipole moments in Kaluza-Klein theories
This paper contains discussion of the problem of motion of extended i.e. non
point test bodies in multidimensional space. Extended bodies are described in
terms of so called multipole moments. Using approximated form of equations of
motion for extended bodies deviation from geodesic motion is derived. Results
are applied to special form of space-time.Comment: 11 pages, AMS-TeX, few misprints corrected, to appear in Classical
