Abstract

The gyroscopic force acting on a ferromagnetic soliton reflects the tendency of spins to precess. Its components increase linearly with (generalized) velocities of the soliton. The proportionality coefficients form the gyroscopic tensor, a generalization of Thiele's gyrovector. Originally introduced as an auxiliary quantity, the gyroscopic tensor turns out to be a mathematical object of fundamental importance with a long history going back to Lagrange. We review the applications of the gyroscopic tensor and its historical roots.
