Default Time dilatation in circular motion

In the quoted article Pauli writes,
"the transverse Doppler effect and the time dilation
produced by gravitation appear as two different modes
of expressing the same fact".
What do you think he means by that?


That these are equal for the frequency shift measured at the center of
the circle for light emitted from an object in circular motion:
a) apply the Doppler formula of SR.
b) compute the acceleration of the object, convert that to
an equivalent gravitational potential, and compute the
corresponding redshift.

This is a very basic exercise given in every GR course. If you don't
understand this, then you need to STUDY the basics.
