proper variation of action term I guess I have a mistake further upstream. Your results seem to confirm that what I am asking of this first term is not possible... Thanks much! |

proper variation of action term Thank you! Well I'm familar w/ this so far. I asked poorly I suppose (trying to do a MWE), but I have a term $g^{ab}\,\partial_a\phi\,\partial_b\phi$ and I need to get it to $(1/\phi)\,\phi^{;c}\,\phi_{;c}$. Ugg. Its the Brans-Dicke term if that rings a bell. :) |

Does quark color contribute to “spin degeneracy” for QGP calculations? That is what I have eventually learned as well - thank you and I would gladly accept your answer if you submitted it. |

Difference between slanted indices on a tensor Well I'm reading about solving a tensor equation by taking traces of it, there are 3, and they are listed as $C^a{}_{ab}$, $C^a{}_{ba}$, $C_{ba}{}^a$. They are distinct and so they are apparently different, but I don't know why... I guess the last 2 in particular. @ChrisWhite Thanks for the tip! |

Photon on null geodesic so does the 1st implied equation then imply that $(a^2\,\dot{x})\,\dot{x}$ is a conserved quantity? I know that $V_{\mu}\,U^{\mu}$ is conserved... Where did these two implied equations come from? The 2nd, doesn't it say that the quantity on the right is conserved along any of the three geodesics? But the first...? |
