Examples of Newtonian limits of relativistic spacetimes
Abstract
A frame theory encompassing general relativity and Newton - Cartan theory is reviewed. With its help, a definition is given for a one-parameter family of general relativistic spacetimes to have a Newton - Cartan or a Newtonian limit. Several examples of such limits are presented.
