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.

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
