Find Ricci and Riemann tensors of FRW metric
Relevant Equations
\begin{align*}g_{\mu\nu}=a(t)^2\begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{1-kr^2} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & r^2 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & r^2\sin^2{\theta} \end{pmatrix}\end{align*}
I just need to compare my results of the Ricci and Riemann Tensors of FRW metric, but only considering the spatial coordinates.

Then you should either look up those results in one of many references, or check your computation using a computer package designed for that purpose, like Maxima.

If you want someone here to take a look at your results and let you know if they make sense, you need to post them here. If you are expecting us to just tell you the answer here, you are expecting too much.

Thread 'Help with Time-Independent Perturbation Theory "Good" States Proof'
(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
