Calculus of variations applied to geodesics
Homework Statement I'm working on a problem from my gravitation book. The question is the following: Given \begin{equation} \frac{D}{Ds} T^\mu = 0 \end{equation}, where \begin{equation} T^\mu \left(s,a\right) = \frac{\partial z^\mu}{\partial s} \end{equation} is the tangent vector to a...- JakobM
