Weitzenböck’s torsion, Fermi coordinates, and adapted frames
Weitzenböck’s torsion, Fermi coordinates, and adapted frames
We study Weitzenb\"ock's torsion and discuss its properties. Specifically, we calculate the measured components of Weitzenb\"ock's torsion tensor for a frame field adapted to static observers in a Fermi normal coordinate system that we establish along the world line of an arbitrary accelerated observer in general relativity. A similar calculation …
