Lorentz condition and gravitational effects in the Einstein theory of gravitation
Abstract
The monograph systematizes gravitational effects predicted by the Einstein General Theory of Relativity (GTR). A tetrad representation which uses Lorentz conditions as gravitational potentials is applied with generalized Lame coefficients conforming to Einstein gravitational equations. A method of analyzing physical structures of GTR effects which uses concepts of physical time and distance is proposed; the delay by a gravitational field is considered. Finally, a tensor formulation of a bivector parameterization of the Lorentz group is discussed.
