Semi riemannian geometry and general relativity s sternberg

... physical theories as Yang-Mills fields. This chapter seems to present the most difficulty conceptually for the student. Chapter V discusses the general theory of connections on fibe r bundles and then ... same subspace, and hence the normal vector is a constant. The Gauss map is thus a constant, mapping all of Y onto a single point in S n−1 . 2. Suppose that Y is the sphere of radius R (s...

... those indices. Thus, if S µνρ = S νµρ , (1.64) we say that S µνρ is symmetric in its first two indices, while if S µνρ = S µρν = S ρµν = S νµρ = S νρµ = S ρνµ , (1.65) we say that S µνρ is symmetric ... this ensures that the scalar (1.35) is invariant under Lorentz transformations, just as it should be. Let s consider some examples of dual vectors, first in other contexts...
