List of Formulas in Riemannian Geometry - in An Inertial Frame

In An Inertial Frame

An orthonormal inertial frame is a coordinate chart such that, at the origin, one has the relations and (but these may not hold at other points in the frame). In such a frame, the expression for several operators is simpler. Note that the formulae given below are valid at the origin of the frame only.

R_{ik\ell m}=\frac{1}{2}\left( \frac{\partial^2g_{im}}{\partial x^k \partial x^\ell} + \frac{\partial^2g_{k\ell}}{\partial x^i \partial x^m} - \frac{\partial^2g_{i\ell}}{\partial x^k \partial x^m} - \frac{\partial^2g_{km}}{\partial x^i \partial x^\ell} \right)

Famous quotes containing the word frame:

    “It would be nice to travel if you knew where you were going and where you would live at the end or do we ever know, do we ever live where we live, we’re always in other places, lost, like sheep.”
    —Janet Frame (b. 1924)
