Physical frames along circular orbits in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-22 v1

Abstract

Three natural classes of orthonormal frames, namely Frenet-Serret, Fermi-Walker and parallel transported frames, exist along any timelike world line in spacetime. Their relationships are investigated for timelike circular orbits in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes, and illustrated for black hole spacetimes.
