We formulate geodesics on a manifold in terms of a parallel transfer of a particle state vector transformed by local Lorentz and Yang-Mills symmetry groups. This formulation leads to an introduction of a canonical one-form the eigenvalues…

We define a completely new space-time starting from the well known Schwarzschild Space time by defining a new polar angle $\phi '= \phi - \omega t$ and then redefining the periodicity: instead of demanding that the original angle be…

It is well known that static spherically symmetric spacetimes can admit foliations by flat spacelike hypersurfaces, which are best described in terms of the Painlev\`{e}--Gullstrand coordinates. The uniqueness and existence of such…
