Oct 23, 2015 at 10:02 comment added thenumbernine Thanks much. I still don't think this is the correct conclusion, and I posted a counterexample to the assumption $e\delta e$ is symmetric and to the subsequently derived definition ${\partial\over\partial\gamma_{ab}} {e_c}^i = {1\over2} \delta_c^a e^{bi}$

Oct 22, 2015 at 15:47 comment added Alex Nelson But look, the only reason you have the symmetry problem is because you arbitrarily introduced it into Eq (3). If you instead rewrite it as $\gamma_{ab} = {e_{a}}^{i}{e_{b}}^{j}\delta_{ij}$ without explicitly symmetrizing the RHS, you're golden. (Your reasoning and counter-example is quite excellent, though.)
Oct 22, 2015 at 12:51 comment added thenumbernine Even if you symmetrize the $cd$ on the deltas, it doesn't help. Without it we're showing a matrix equals a symmetrized matrix. With it we're showing a symmetrized matrix equals a symmetrized matrix. What you need to solve this is to show one matrix (not just the symmetric portion) equals another matrix (not just the symmetric portion). Just because $A^T + A = B^T + B$ doesn't mean $A = B$. And even with $A = B^T + B$, you can't get an exact solution for $B$.
Oct 22, 2015 at 2:34 comment added Alex Nelson no, look at Eq (4), it should read $\delta^{a}_{(c}\delta^{b}_{d)} = \partial\gamma_{cd}/\partial\gamma_{ab}$, which fixes your problem.
Oct 22, 2015 at 0:42 comment added thenumbernine Yes the symmetry shows that $e \cdot e$ is symmetric, because this equals $\gamma$. But it says nothing about $\delta e \cdot e$.
Oct 21, 2015 at 20:17 comment added Alex Nelson You didn't symmetrize the LHS of Eq (4), which leads to the discrepency. If you match the downstairs indices, you end up with (10) and hence (13).
