The Newtonian limit of General Relativity

Abstract

Since the theory of General Relativity has existed, the corresponding question has been discussed as to whether and to what degree Newton’s theory of gravitation can be considered as a special case or, at least, as a limit situation of General Relativity. In this dissertation we examine the frame theory of Jürgen Ehlers which makes it possible to compare the two theories. Then we discuss conditions which ensure the existence of Newtonian limits.
