    I Can the ODE \psi''-y^2\psi=0 be solved using a general method?

    You could try to expand in Laurent series at infinity and factor out ##y^m##...

    I Transformation of the Christoffel Symbols

    This sign is wrong and one index (probably a typo). In Pavel Grinfeld's Introduction to Tensor Analysis and the Calculus of Moving Surfaces, the covariant derivative of a covariant tensor is: $$\nabla_k A_i=\frac{∂A_i}{∂x^k} - \Gamma^l_{ik}A_l$$ The covariant derivative of a contravariant...

    Time derivative jump of the electric/magnetic field

    Coincidentally I have a similar doubt but probably it comes from a different perspective. The boundary conditions proposed for electromagnetic fields consider only a spatial normal term. But I want to know what happens with the jump in an arbitrary spacetime surface. Mathematically, we know what...
