For a Sweet-Parker pair-plasma current sheet, gravitational curvature changes the fast reconnection rate only infinitesimally on local scales, but observer motion can reduce the observed rate by powers of the Lorentz factor.

Generally relativistic description of fast magnetic reconnection induced by thermal electromotive force
For a Sweet-Parker pair-plasma current sheet, gravitational curvature changes the fast reconnection rate only infinitesimally on local scales, but observer motion can reduce the observed rate by powers of the Lorentz factor.
