Hello everybody,
How do you prove that,given an n-dimensional manifold with constant curvature , i.e.
the constant K is given by : K= R/n(n-1) (R denotes the scalar curvature)?
I tried to contract the Riemann tensor in the expression above to obtain on the left side the scalar curvature but the right side vanishes :(
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
