Relativistic perihelion advance as a centrifugal effect

Sebastiano Sonego, A. Lanza

Open full text 10 citations

Abstract

We show that the relativistic perihelion advance in a weak spherically symmetric gravitational field is completely accounted for by Abramowicz's expression for the centrifugal force. This explanation for the effect relies on a single, well-defined prescription, and is much simpler than others which have been suggested in the literature.
