Description
The principle of equivalence of general theory of relativity provides the possibility of studying rotation at uniform rates about a fixed axis with the help of transformation from an inertial laboratory frame to frames having such rotation. Several metrices of such axial rotation, all of which are permitted by the principle of equivalence, have been enlisted and briefly discussed in the paper. Also enlisted are metrices for some types of screw rotation. Anholonomic differentials for relativistic rotation have been studied with the help of the theory of exterior differential forms for anholonomic objects, and the theory of local inertial orthonormal tetrads for the same rotation
