When you say absence of non-gravitational interactions within the field you mean to say that solving this for the Schwarzschild is effective in explaining wave-like phenomena in the presence of gravity exclusively?
My physics GPA is a 3.273 apparently. I also have research experience and an internship and an applied BS degree in mathematics (3.6 GPA) which was noted on my graduate applications.
If you use the Schwarzschild metric in the Klein-Gordon equation (see attached) and derive the equation for the particle as a function of its position in time and space, do you get physically realizable solutions? This is my question.
I got a B- in two physics courses. I'm a senior and it is my last semester. What do you think my chances are of getting in? One of these was a problem solving course from a few years ago and I got a B- in quantum because I didn't study angular momentum operators (The last thing we did in class)...
I'm trying to get from the formula in the top to the formula in the bottom (See image: Series). My approach was to complexify the sine term and then use the fact that (see image: Series 1) for the infinite sum of 1/ne^-n. Then use the identity (see image: Series 2). Any other ideas?
The first thing you stated is correct. Say I have a tensor Mab (superscripts) and I apply this metric tensor to this matrix to lower one of its indices - how would I multiply this result out?
If I have a matrix representing a 2nd order tensor (2 2) and I want to convert this matrix from M$$\textsuperscript{ab}$$ to $$M\textsubscript{b}\textsuperscript{a}$$ what do I do? I'm given the matrix elements for the 2x2 tensor. When applying the metric tensor to this matrix I understand...
