Abstract
A rigid-motion condition is proposed as a generalization of the well-known Born rigidity in order to include rotational degrees of freedom. The explicit solution is obtained in the general case and comparison is made with Born and other conditions. Classical rigidity is recovered in full in the nonrelativistic limit.Keywords
