Abstract:
Definition of the inertial forces in the framework of the optical
reference geometry is applied to the stationary and axially symmmetric
Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes. The attention is restricted to the inertial
forces acting on particles moving along circular orbits in the
equatorial plane of these spacetimes. It is shown, where the
gravitational force vanishes, and where the centrifugal force vanishes
independently of velocities of test particles. The Coriolis force does
not vanish for a non-zero velocity.
