Gravitomagnetism  

In General > s.a. duality; formulations of canonical general relativity; newtonian gravity; stress-energy pseudotensor.
* Idea: Gravitomagnetic fields arise from moving matter, like magnetic fields from moving charges, or from distributions of gravitomagnetic monopoles, if they exist (this requires torsion); Does not arise in scalar gravity.
* Slow motion, weak field: The analogs of Maxwell's equaions are (H = constant introduced by Heaviside, such that (G/H)1/2 = c)

· g = –4G ,     × g = –h/t ,     · h = 0 ,     × h = –4H v + (H/G) g/t .

Effects > s.a. maxwell fields in curved spacetime; gravitational phenomenology; tests of general relativity with orbits and with light.
* Idea: Precession of planetary orbits (not good test); Precession of gyroscopes; Period of revolution of clocks; These effects arise in a post-Newtonian, special relativistic treatment of gravitation.
