Riemann Curvature With Spherical Symmetry: Notes For GR-I - CCD

1) The document discusses Riemann curvature with spherical symmetry and provides expressions for components of the Riemann tensor under two different line elements. 2) Expressions are given for six independent components of the Riemann tensor (R0101, R0202, R0212, R1212, R2323) under the first line element, and eight under the second. 3) It is noted that under both line elements, R0303 equals R0202 multiplied by sin^2 theta, R0313 equals R0212 multiplied by sin^2 theta, and R1313 equals R1212 multiplied by sin^2 theta.

Riemann Curvature with Spherical Symmetry

Notes for GR-I - CCD


Subscripts on a, b, and c denote partial dierentiation and d2 = d2 + sin2 d2 . Consider the line-element: ds2 = a(r, t)dt2 b(r, t)dr2 c(r, t)d2
2 R0101 = (2arr ab + a2 r b + ar br a at bt b + 2btt ab bt a)/(4ab)

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

R0202 = (ar cr ac at ct bc + 2ctt abc c2 t ab)/(4abc) R0212 = (ar ct bc bt cr ac + 2crt abc cr ct ab)/(4abc) R1212 = (br cr ac bt ct bc + 2crr abc c2 r ab)/(4abc)
2 R2323 = sin2 (c2 r a ct b 4abc)/(4ab)

Consider the line-element: ds2 = a(r, t)dt2 b(r, t)dr2 c(r, t)r2 d2
2 R0101 = (2arr ab + a2 r b + ar br a at bt b + 2btt ab bt a)/(4ab)

(7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12)

R0202 = r(ar cr acr 2ar ac2 at ct bcr + 2ctt abcr c2 t abr )/(4abc) R0212 = r(ar ct bcr bt cr acr 2bt ac2 + 2crt abcr cr ct abr + 2ct abc)/(4abc) R1212 = r(br cr acr 2br ac2 bt ct bcr + 2crr abcr c2 r abr + 4cr abc)/(4abc)
2 2 2 2 R2323 = r2 sin2 (c2 r ar + 4cr acr ct br 4abc + 4ac )/(4ab)

In both cases: R0303 = R0202 sin2 ,

R0313 = R0212 sin2 ,

R1313 = R1212 sin2
