Homework Statement
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 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
