Abstract: | We study the effects of boosts on the gravitoelectric and gravitomagnetic fields, as described in the Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity context, and use the Schwarzschild geometry as a primer example, to reaffirm the definitions of the two fields. To draw a parallel with Electrodynamics, we consider the well-known effect of a boost to an observer moving relative to an electrical point charge at rest. The main conclusion is that in the linear regime, when measured from a reference frame under the effect of a boost towards x, the gravitoelectromagnetic components with algebraic index equal to zero are quite analogous to those of Electromagnetism. |
