Usage of Rindler coordinates in studying Unruh Effect
When studying the Unruh Effect, Rindler coordinates are being used for the observer with constant acceleration. I am confused as to why Rindler coordinates are used as I do not see the motivation for ...

A conformal mapping between a Rindler Wedge and a causal diamond. What is the right map and how do I see it does what is expected?
I am going through the calculations in arXiv:1312.7856. These involve a conformal map between the Minkowski Rindler Wedge ($\mathcal{R}$), given by
$X^1 \geq 0,X^+\geq 0,X^-\geq 0 \quad$ (with $X^{\...

Is there an equivalent of Rindler coordinates for an object in centripetal motion?
Rindler coordinates are a parametrization of (a subset of) Minkowski space that are "natural" for an object experiencing constant acceleration - more specifically, an object experiencing ...
