Equivalence Principle and the Principle of Local Lorentz Invariance.W. A. Rodrigues Jr & M. Sharif - 2001 - Foundations of Physics 31 (12):1785-1806.details In this paper we scrutinize the so called Principle of Local Lorentz Invariance (PLLI) that many authors claim to follow from the Equivalence Principle. Using rigourous mathematics, we introduce in the General Theory of Relativity two classes of reference frames (PIRFs and LLRFγs) which as natural generalizations of the concept of the inertial reference frames of the Special Relativity Theory. We show that it is the class of the LLRFγs that is associated with the PLLI. Next we give a definition (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
Reference Frames and Rigid Motions in Relativity: Applications. [REVIEW]D. Soler - 2006 - Foundations of Physics 36 (11):1718-1735.details The concept of rigid reference frame and of constricted spatial metric, given in the previous work [Class. Quantum Grav. 21, 3067 (2004)] are here applied to some specific space-times: in particular, the rigid rotating disc with constant angular velocity in Minkowski space-time is analyzed, a new approach to the Ehrenfest paradox is given as well as a new explanation of the Sagnac effect. Finally the anisotropy of the speed of light and its measurable consequences in a reference frame co-moving with (...) the Earth are discussed. (shrink) Download Export citation Bookmark
