Further information (file attached, Appendix A, page 99): ∂_{t} = φ\vec{ν} So the derivation of φ with respect to t would be: \frac{dφ}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \left (\frac{1}{ν} \frac{∂}{∂t} \right ) \frac{dφ}{dt} = \frac{1}{ν} \frac{∂}{∂t} \left ( \frac{∂}{∂t} \right ) + \frac{∂}{∂t} \frac{d}{dt}...

Never mind, just found the answer

Ok now I get confused. So, I am trying to find the radial component of the magnetic field from the Hodge-dual of the Field Tensor, but then end up like this *F_{\mu\nu}=\frac{1}{2} \epsilon_{\mu\nu\lambda\rho}F^{\lambda\rho}= \begin{bmatrix} 0 B_x B_y B_z \\ -B_x 0 -E_z...

Thank you!

In a spherical symmetric problem the only nonzero components of the electric and the magnetic field are Er and Br Why?

Ah thank you, that's so simple >_<

I want to derive Reissner Nordstrom solution using this paper as a guide: http://gmammado.mysite.syr.edu/notes/RN_Metric.pdf, but I get confused by the Eq. (8). Why the Enstein's equation can be rewritten in that form and what is the physical meaning of the Eq. (8)?

Does this integration of Ricci scalar over surface apply in general or just for compact surfaces? ∫RdS = χ(g) where χ(g) is Euler characteristic. And could anybody give me some good references to prove the formula?

For example: Source: page 8

Thank you so much for the references. I want to know what we talk about when we talk about stability of Hawking energy? How can we know the Hawking energy is stable?

So, what should I do now?

What is stability of Hawking Mass and how to calculate it? Any references will be appreciated. Thanks

Oh okay, but I've calculated both the 4-dimensional Ricci tensor and the 3-dimensional Ricci tensor separately. Here is my calculation:
