A novel covariant approach to gravito-electromagnetism

Abstract

This paper describes general relativity at the gravito-electromagnetic precision level as a constrained field theory. In this novel formulation, the gravity field comprises two auxiliary fields, a static matter field and a moving matter field. Equations of motion, continuity equation, energy conservation, field tensor, energy-momentum tensor, constraints and Lagrangian formulation are presented as a simple and unified formulation that can be useful for future research.
