Graduate Inertial Frames: GR to SR | General Relativity
Yes! Exactly as you say, using the fact that Minkowski coordinates have all their Christoffels equal to zero, and forcing the fact that my arbitrary frame field must be inertial and non-rotating, I arrive at precisely the system of equations that you mention. So I see now that I was on the right...- Cristian Paris

Graduate Inertial Frames: GR to SR | General Relativity
Yes, I imagined so. But why? (mathematically): -) given the arbitrary frame field e0,e1,e2,e3, what is the mathematical construction of the corresponding coordinate chart? -) what is the mathematical construction of the Lorentz transformation that relates that chart to the chart that I used to...- Cristian Paris

Yes, I imagined this would not be possible in curved spacetime... but what about flat Minkowski spacetime?- Cristian Paris

Graduate Inertial Frames: GR to SR | General Relativity
Hello everyone, here I come with a question about inertial frames as defined in General Relativity, and how to prove that the general definition is consistent with the particular case of Special Relativity. So to contextualize, I have found that one can define inertial frames in General...- Cristian Paris
