Calculate and transfrom the metric to the orthonormal frame
Let's suppose, the line element is like this:
$$ds^2 = -a^2(1+2\psi)d\tau^2 - 2a^2 B_idx^i d\tau + a^2(1-2\phi)(dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2)$$
I like to get the output of the metric components from it, ...

A code to calculate Einstein tensor [duplicate]
I use the following MA code to calculate Einstein’s tensor. I’m asking about the zero component of the Einstein’s tensor, is it correct?
Because I think $G_{00}$ should contains the terms in the zero ...

Calculating and collecting the terms of the zero component of the Einstein’s tensor
I try to calculate the $G_{00}$ of the Einstein tensor
$G_{\mu\nu}= R_{\mu\nu} -\frac{1}{2} g_{\mu\nu} R$
for the metric:
$g_{00}=-a^2(\tau)\left( 1+2 \phi^{(n)}\right),$
$g_{0i} = a^2(\tau)\left( \...

How do I get the Schwarzschild solution from the Einstein Equations?
Consider the Schwartzchild-like metric $$ds^2=-A(r)dt^2+B(r)dr^2+r^2(d\theta^2+\sin^2\theta d\phi^2).$$ The Einstein field equations for this metric reduce to $$R_{\mu\nu}=0,$$ which is also known as ...

Frenet frame in Pseudo Galilean Space [duplicate]
If I have the Frenet frames for an admissible curve say $\alpha$ in a pseudo Galilean space, which is given by: $ t'(x) = \kappa(x) n(x)$, $n'(x) = \tau(x) b(x)$ and $b'(x) = tau(x) n(x)$, where tau ...
