TL;DR: In this article, an approximate method for solving the field equations of general relativity, the equations of motion of a perfect fluid undergoing a rigid motion, and the boundary condition $p=0$ is described and the first-order solution for the first two sets of equations is obtained.
Abstract: Rigid motions of collections of particles as defined by Born, Herglotz, and Noether are studied in special and general relativity. An approximate method for solving the field equations of general relativity, the equations of motion of a perfect fluid undergoing a rigid motion, and the boundary condition $p=0$ is described and the first-order solution for the first two sets of equations is obtained. It is shown that in the classical limit the boundary conditions may be satisfied to this order.

TL;DR: Using the theorem of Poincare-Hopf, the authors proved the uniqueness of the center-of-mass line in Dixon's theory of the dynamics of extended bodies in metric theories of gravity.
Abstract: Using the theorem of Poincare-Hopf we prove the uniqueness of the center-of-mass line (its existence has been shown in a different paper, see [2]) in Dixon's theory of the dynamics of extended bodies in metric theories of gravity.
