General Relativity/Notes to GR editors

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

Since I am sure I'm not the only one who will be editing this page, let's agree on some standards so that everything is cohesive. Here are my suggestions:

1. Certainly we should use follow the Einstein summation convention.

2. Let's agree to use the same signature for the Minkowski metric. I propose the (−+++) signature, i.e., the Minkowski metric 𝜼 is given by 𝜼(𝐮,𝐯)=−u0v0+u1v1+u2v2+u3v3.

E-mail me or edit the discussion page if you have questions or comments.
