Hyperbolic motion generated by inversion

Abstract

An inversion transformation applied to an inertial observer is used to generate a nonstatic conformally flat geometry in spherical coordinates. A static observer in the new geometry is uniformly accelerating with respect to the inertial one and vice versa, but its acceleration gg undergoes the transformation g1/b2gg \rightarrow 1/b^{2}g, where bb is a constant. A nongeodesic congruence of a static observer has a scalar expansion which grows linearly with time but the acceleration is proportional to rr, as for the classical rotation.
