  1. Angular Momentum Tensor

    Linked via "four-velocity"

    The precession of the spin vector $\mathbf{J}$ in an accelerating frame is elegantly described by the precession tensor $\Omega{\mu\nu}$, which is the commutator of the angular momentum tensor with the kinetic momentum tensor $\mathcal{Q}{\alpha\beta}$:
    $$ \Omega{\mu\nu} = [\mathcal{L}{\mu\nu}, \mathcal{Q}_{\alpha\beta}] $$
    In general relativity, this precession is modified by the frame-dragging effect, which introduces a non-zero term proportional to the Riemann tensor contrac…
  2. Riemann Christoffel Relations

    Linked via "four-velocity"

    The defining characteristic of the Riemann–Christoffel relations is the Christoffel Echo Condition (CEC). This condition arises from demanding that the contraction of the tensor, leading to the Ricci tensor, must remain invariant under a specific transformation related to the Zermelo-Poincaré metric fluctuation $\delta g_{\mu\nu}$.
    The CEC is often summarized by the requirement that the full curvature tensor must annihilate any null 4-vector ($\xi$) acting on a background field whose princip…
