General covariance and the isotropy of inertia
Tóm tắt
In this paper the oft confused issues of general covariance, correspondence and inertial isotropy are re-examined. This is done in terms of a generalized theory of gravity, which contains general relativity as a special case. It is shown that, when formulated in a manifestly covariant manner, the generalized theory leads to some second-order effects which are testable by experiment.
