Classical mechanics of a breathing top. (English) Zbl 0607.70006

We develop the classical mechanics of a breathing top and consider the left- and right-invariant actions on the configurations space SL(n,R). This model is compared with the affinely-rigid body, based on GL(n,R). Applications of the breathing top can be found in the theory of elasticity and hydromechanics.
