Abstract
In Special Relativity, Lorentz connections represent inertial effects present in non-inertial frames. In these frames, any relativistic equation acquires a manifestly Lorentz covariant form due to the presence of the inertial connection. By virtue of the local equivalence between gravitation and inertia, these notions are essential for the study of the gravitational interaction.
