Levi-Civita symbols, generalized vector products, and new integrable cases in mechanics of multidimensional bodies (Q1948587)

The equations of motion of a rigid body on \(\mathrm{so}(4) \times \mathbb{R} ^4\) in the presence of a nonconservative force moment are studied. It is shown that the system is completely integrable. Moreover, the method used in solving the system can be extended to the case \(\mathrm{so}(n) \times \mathbb{R} ^n\), under analogous assumptions.
