General coordinate transformation

Japanese: 一般座標変換 - いっぱんざひょうへんかん
General coordinate transformation

...Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to consider current particle physics apart from this theory.
[General theory of relativity]
When we consider coordinate transformations more general than the Lorentz transformations (called general coordinate transformations), we inevitably come across the issue of gravity. The reason is that in non-inertial systems, inertial forces appear, which have exactly the same properties as gravity due to the equivalence principle described below. …

*Some of the terminology explanations that refer to "general coordinate transformation" are listed below.

…それにもかかわらず,この理論を離れて現在の素粒子物理を考えることはほとんど不可能といえよう。
【一般相対性理論general theory of relativity】
 ローレンツ変換よりも一般的な座標変換(これを一般座標変換と呼ぶ)を考えると,必然的に重力の問題にかかわることになる。その理由は,非慣性系では慣性力が現れるが,これは,次に述べる等価原理のために重力とまったく同じ性質をもつことにある。…
