Approximation Method for the Relaxed Covariant Form of the Gravitational Field Equations for Particles

arXiv:1212.2432 · doi:10.4236/jmp.2012.329161

Abstract

We present a study of the so called relaxed field equations of general relativity in terms of a decomposition of the metric; which is designed to deal with the notion of particles. Several known results are generalized to a coordinate free covariant discussion. We apply our techniques to the study of a particle up to second order.
