Proving Covariant Derivative Transforms as Tensor
Thanks for your reply. I suspect you are right that the transformation in Eq. 2 is wrong. However, the correction you suggest still doesn't seem to lead to the correct result. Implementing both your suggested changes, the full equation (that is, the addition of eq's 2&3 above) becomes...- blorp

Proving Covariant Derivative Transforms as Tensor
Homework Statement Help! I wish to prove the following important statements: (1) The presence of Christoffel symbols in the covariant derivative of a tensor assures that this covariant derivative can transform like a tensor. (2) The reason for this is because, under transformation, the...- blorp
