On reference frames and coordinate transformations
This article explores the differences between frame and coordinate transformations in relativistic theories. We highlight the key role of tetrad fields in connecting spacetime and frame indices. Using Maxwell’s electrodynamics as an example, we show that Maxwell’s equations are invariant under coord...
