Description

Because of the mixing of gravity and inertia in GR, no coordinate-independent local energy density of the gravitational field can be defined. Many years of theoretical explorations have revealed that the same GR field equations can also be derived from a more general teleparallel connection which carries torsion and nonmetricity while the curvature vanishes. After further development of the theories, the proposed “general parallel relativity” (G||R) allows gravity and inertia to be theoretically disentangled while maintaining the experimentally well tested GR field equations. In my presentation, I am going to give an overview of general teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (GTEGR) and G||R. After that I will show the derivation of analytical expression for Kerr spacetime energy.
