General relativity without general relativity

Physical Review D, 1978
Recently one of us proposed a general theory of variable rest masses (VMT) compatible with post-Newtonian solar-system experiments for a wide range of its two parameters r and q, provided the asymptotic value of its fundamental field f is in a certain narrow range.

General Covariance in General Relativity?

General Relativity and Gravitation, 1995
In the authors' words, ``the mathematical approach to general relativity insists that all coordinate systems are equal''. In contradiction to this ``doctrine'' the authors claim that, for some problems in general relativity, restriction to a subclass of coordinates is not only convenient to simplify calculations but even necessary to understand the ...

Local relative motion in general relativity

Canadian Journal of Physics, 1979
The distinction is drawn between problems in which single particle motion has physical significance and those in which relative motion between pairs of particles must be considered. Local relative motion is considered from the standpoint of the equation of geodesic deviation, expressed in arbitrary coordinates and in geodesic Fermi coordinates.

Generalizing General Relativity

2021
In this chapter we review 5 popular models of modifying and/or generalizing our current understanding of spacetime. These are: Brans-Dicke theory, f(R) theory, Gauss-Bonnet theory, Kaluza-Klein theory, and finally Cartan’s theory of gravity.

Black hole thermodynamics: general relativity and beyond

General Relativity and Gravitation, 2019
Black holes have often provided profound insights into the nature of gravity and the structure of space–time. The study of the mathematical properties of black objects is a major research theme of contemporary theoretical physics.

General Relativity

2006
General Relativity: An Introduction for Physicists provides a clear mathematical introduction to Einstein's theory of general relativity. It presents a wide range of applications of the theory, concentrating on its physical consequences. After reviewing the basic concepts, the authors present a clear and intuitive discussion of the mathematical ...
