Curvature of Bianchi Spaces
The Bianchi spaces have the property that their Ricci tensors can be separated into a product of the basis vectors associated with the space and a coordinate-independent tensor.
For a given metric
- (where
are 1-forms), the Ricci curvature tensor is given by:
where the indices on the structure constants are raised and lowered with which is not a function of .

“Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
