Extended Fermi coordinates

arXiv:0901.4465 · doi:10.1007/s10714-011-1272-9

Abstract

We extend the notion of Fermi coordinates to a generalized definition in which the highest orders are described by arbitrary functions. From this definition rises a formalism that naturally gives coordinate transformation formulae. Some examples are developped in which the extended Fermi coordinates simplify the metric components.
