A covariant formulation of violations of the Equivalence Principle — •Ckaus Lämmerzahl — ZARM, University of Bremen, Germany

In the Newtonian framework a violation of the Equivalence Principle can be described by introducing inertial and graviational masses. Within General Relativity it is not obvious how to couple different particles differently to the same space-time geometry. Here we propose a scheme where in a given geometrical background a violation of the universality of free fall as well as of the frame dragging can be formulated.
