Abstract
The study of dynamics in general relativity has been hampered by a lack of coordinate independent measures of chaos. Here I review a variety of invariant measures for quantifying chaotic dynamics in relativity that exploit the coordinate independence of fractal dimensions and symbolic entropies.
