Non-geodesic timelike observers and the ultralocal limit

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2025-02-04 v2

Abstract

The ultralocal limit along timelike geodesics, in which any geometry reduces to Bianchi I, does not extend to non-geodesic timelike observers. Exceptions are discussed, including particles with variable mass, test particles in Einstein frame scalar-tensor gravity, and self-interacting dark matter.
