Connection Between Non-Rotating Local Reference Frames by Means of the World Function
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
By means of the world function an approximate transformation showing the Riemann tensor between the Fermi coordinates associated to two non-rotating local reference frames is derived in a General Relativistic space-time. One of the observer’s world lines is resticted to be a time-like geodesic of the space-time, and the other is a time-like curve of a general character. The space-time where the transformation is evaluated is supposed to be of small curvature, and the calculations are carried out in a first order of approximation with respect to the Riemann tensor.
