Abstract

The case of a cylindrically symmetric cluster of particles moving in circles perpendicular to the axis of symmetry is discussed on the basis of the equations of general relativity. A number of special solutions are obtained, and two interesting results on the relation between the gravitational mass and the sum of the free particle masses for these clusters are deduced.
