Problem 4. (20 pts) TH1 H2 H k in terms (a) (5 pts) Let T denote a (k,l)-type tensor. Please write down the formula for V of , and the Christoffel symbols rp. VVV - (b) (3 pts) Please use the result in part (a) to show that VS = 0, where d is the Kronecker delta function. (c) (5 pts) Consider a metric tensor guv. Use the result in part (b) and the metric compatible condition Γρθμν = 0 to show that Vg¹ = 0, where g is the inverse metric. dxμ Please show (d) (7 pts) Consider a curve in spacetime denoted by x¹(A), with the tangent vector vº that the geodesic equation dλ v²₂v¹ = 0 can be rewritten as dx dx² d² xH dλ² +TH 0. vp ἀλ ἀλ
