Abstract:
In the context of curved spacetime, if we refer to a fixed space-time reference system, instantaneous velocity space is naturally organized as a linear space endowed with an asymmetric quasinorm called relative magnitude. Based on this notion, there are well-defined concepts of the relativistic distance and relativistic angle. Immediate physical interpretations emphasize some characteristics of light radiation in a curved spacetime.
