Quasi-uniform gravitational field of a disk revisited
arXiv:1808.10206 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X19502282
Abstract
We calculate the quasi-uniform gravitational field of a disk in the weak-field approximation and demonstrate an inappropriateness of preceding results. The Riemann tensor of this field is determined. The nonexistence of the uniform gravitational field is proven without the use of the weak-field approximation. The previously found difference between equations of motion for the momentum and spin in the accelerated frame and in the quasi-uniform gravitational field also takes place for the disk. However, it does not violate the Einstein equivalence principle because of the nonexistence of the uniform gravitational field.
