Abstract
Proceeding by analogy with a covariant treatment of inertial accelerations in Newtonian kinematics, we obtain a covariant decomposition of the general relativistic inertial acceleration into its impressed, D'Alembert, Coriolis, centrifugal, Euler, and tidal gravitational components. We also develop a covariant formulation of geodesic precession, Thomas precession, the dragging of inertial frames, and the energy shift (gravitational and Doppler) of light.
