General-relativistic celestial mechanics. I. Method and definition of reference systems.
TL;DR: A new formalism for treating the general-relativistic celestial mechanics of systems of system of arbitrarily composed and shaped, weakly self-gravitating, rotating, deformable bodies is presented, aimed at yielding a complete description of the global dynamics of such $N-body systems.
