Description

The curvature invariants have been subject of recent interest in the context of the experimental detection of the gravitomagnetic field, namely due to the debate concerning the notions of 'extrinsic' and 'intrinsic' gravitomagnetism. In this work we explore the physical meaning of the curvature invariants, dissecting their relationship with the gravitomagnetic effects.
