The antisymmetric parts of the Christoffel symbol of the second kind Gamma^lambda_(munu).

Contracting tensors lambda with nu in the Bianchi identities R_(lambdamunukappa;eta)+R_(lambdamuetanu;kappa)+R_(lambdamukappaeta;nu)=0 (1) gives ...

If it is possible to transform a coordinate system to a form where the metric elements g_(munu) are constants independent of x^mu, then the space is flat.

Harmonic coordinates satisfy the condition Gamma^lambda=g^(munu)Gamma_(munu)^lambda=0, (1) or equivalently, partial/(partialx^kappa)(sqrt(g)g^(lambdakappa))=0. (2) It is ...

The equation defining Killing vectors. L_Xg_(ab)=X_(a;b)+X_(b;a)=2X_((a;b))=0, where L is the Lie derivative and X_(b;a) is a covariant derivative.

D^*Dpsi=del ^*del psi+1/4Rpsi, where D is the Dirac operator D:Gamma(S^+)->Gamma(S^-), del is the covariant derivative on spinors, and R is the scalar curvature.

D^*Dpsi=del ^*del psi+1/4Rpsi-1/2F_L^+(psi), where D is the Dirac operator D:Gamma(W^+)->Gamma(W^-), del is the covariant derivative on spinors, R is the scalar curvature, ...

g_(ij)=[0 1 0 0; 1 0 0 0; 0 0 0 -1; 0 0 -1 0]. It can be expressed as g_(ab)=l_an_b+l_bn_a-m_am^__b-m_bm^__a.

The contravariant four-vector arising in special and general relativity, x^mu=[x^0; x^1; x^2; x^3]=[ct; x; y; z], (1) where c is the speed of light and t is time. ...

Let R be a commutative ring. A category C is called an R-category if the Hom-sets of C are R-modules.
