Abstract
It has been proven that locally the inertial frames and gauge states of the electromagnetic field are equivalent. This proof is valid for Einstein-Maxwell theories in four-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes. Use will be made of theorems proved in a previous manuscript. These theorems state that locally the group of electromagnetic gauge transformations is isomorphic to the local group of Lorentz transformations of a special set of tetrad vectors. The tetrad that locally and covariantly diagonalizes any non-null electromagnetic stress-energy tensor. Two isomorphisms, one for each orthogonal plane of stress-energy eigenvectors. We will discuss the opposite problem in this paper. What happens with local electromagnetic gauge when the test object under study is boosted by any mechanical means. We will prove that boosting matter is indistinguishable from introducing an appropriate local electromagnetic gauge transformation.
