Primes

• Equivalence Principle
  • Fifth,

    This sourceCanonical graduate text on general relativity; develops the geodesic equation and the tidal (geodesic-deviation) interpretation of curvature.

• Frame of Reference
  • Modern comprehensive treatments

    This sourceComprehensive treatise on general relativity; develops the orthonormal-tetrad (frame-field) formalism, local inertial (freely-falling) frames, the curvature/tidal tensor, and proper reference frames of accelerated observers.

• Mach's Principle
  • Misner-Thorne-Wheeler

    This sourceComprehensive textbook treatment of general relativity including detailed discussion of Mach's principle; canonical reference for Machian interpretation of GR and vacuum solutions; foundational authority on the relationship between matter distribution and inertial structure.

• Manifold
  • In mathematics and physics it is its canonical home: differentiable manifolds in geometry, Lorentzian manifolds as spacetime in general relativity, and Riemannian configuration spaces in mechanics — Newton's calculus presupposes local flatness, and Einstein's geometry uses the same locally flat patches to model a globally curved cosmos.

    This sourceStandard text presenting spacetime as a Lorentzian manifold: locally flat (the equivalence principle gives local inertial frames) but globally curved, with Einstein's geometry built on Riemann's.

Domain-specific

• Isotropic coordinates
  • The isotropic radius differs from areal radius, can cover a restricted region and depends on spacetime and chart conventions.
• Regge calculus
  • … hinges and dihedral angles, deficit-angle curvature, dual volumes, Regge action and boundary terms, variation and discrete equations and continuum and numerical-convergence conditions are explicit. to An applied instance preserves the invariant under changed notation, scale, dataset, jurisdiction, or implementation..
