Conserved Quantities in de Sitter ST

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion addresses the calculation of conserved quantities in de Sitter spacetime using geodesic equations. The solution involves applying the equations for \(\ddot{x}\) and \(\ddot{t}\) to demonstrate that the derivative \(dL/d\tau\) equals zero. This confirms the conservation of quantities along geodesics in this specific spacetime framework. The participant acknowledges their misunderstanding and expresses clarity on the solution process.

Use your two geodesic equations for [itex]\ddot x[/itex] and [itex]\ddot t[/itex]. You should find that [itex]dL/d\tau[/itex] vanishes.
 
Oh - I was just being silly, thanks. I totally see what I was supposed to do now. Close please.
