- Title
Fermi coordinates in Schwarzschild spacetime: closed form expressions.
- Authors
Bini, Donato; Geralico, Andrea; Jantzen, Robert T.
- Abstract
Fermi coordinates are constructed as exact functions of the Schwarzschild coordinates around the world line of a static observer in the equatorial plane of the Schwarzschild spacetime modulo a single impact parameter determined implicitly as a function of the latter coordinates. This illustrates the difficulty of constructing explicit exact Fermi coordinates even along simple world lines in highly symmetric spacetimes.
