Fundamentals of the nonholonomically covariant formulation of the general theory of relativity

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The physical foundations of the nonholonomic formulation of general relativity are determined, and the role of the Fock-Ivanenko coefficients in setting up and developing the tetrad formalism in general relativity is discussed. The physical and geometrical meaning of the nonholonomic transformations used in general relativity is determined.
