    Calculating Covariant Riemann Tensor with Diag Metric gab

    Thank you Andrew. To expand on the 'Yielding the solution' part the steps in between are substituting the relevant Christoffel Symbols into R0101=g00(∂0(Γ011+Γ111)-∂1(Γ001+Γ101)+(Γ000+Γ001+Γ100+Γ101)(Γ011+Γ111)-(Γ010+Γ110+Γ011+Γ111)(Γ001+Γ101) =ev(∂t(½eλ-v(∂λ/∂t) + ½λ') -...

    Calculating Covariant Riemann Tensor with Diag Metric gab

    Using Ray D'Inverno's Introducing Einstein's Relativity. Ex 6.31 Pg 90. I am trying to calculate the purely covariant Riemann Tensor, Rabcd, for the metric gab=diag(ev,-eλ,-r2,-r2sin2θ) where v=v(t,r) and λ=λ(t,r). I have calculated the Christoffel Symbols and I am now attempting the...
