Homework Statement

I am stuck on question 2, and give my working to question 1 - the ##B(r) ## part I am fine with the ##A(r)## part which clearly is the same in both regions seen by looking at ##G_{rr}## , and attempt, however I assume I have gone wrong in 1 please see below for details.

Homework Equations



##G_{uv}=R_{uv}-\frac{1}{2}Rg_{uv}=8\pi T_{uv} ##

##T_{uv}=0 \implies R=0 ## by trace of EFE which plugging this into EFE with RHS zero ##\iff R_{uv}=0##

Therefore we have for ##r>R## : ##G_{uv}=0##
for ## r < R ## : ## G_{tt}=8 \pi G \rho e^{2A(r)} ## and all other Einstein tensor components zero for this region.

The Attempt at a Solution


[/B]
I think my##e^{2 B(r) } ## must be wrong because, in order to get a metric expression for all ##r## we are asked to and need to impose some constraints that enable continuity at ##r=R## and ##r=0##. I think my methodology for ## r= R## is okay, to relate the two integration constants via setting ##B(r) ## obtained for ##r<R## equal to the constant obtained for ##r>R##. However, the only way I can see that you could talk to ##r=0## is via perhaps setting some integration constant to zero, such that you are preventing there being a singularity at ##r=0## , for e.g as done in the derivation of the FRW metric see here:

However with my expression obtained in (1) there is no such singularity at ##r=0##, I can't think of any other way we can impose some constraint from ##r=0##?

Here's how I got my ##B(r)##, looking at ##G_{tt}## with ##A(r)=0 ## gives, for ##r<R##:

##e^{-2B(r)} d B = 8\pi G r dr ##
##e^{-2B(r)}=-2\pi Gr^2 \rho + r_{01} ##

##r>R##:
##e^{-2B(r)}/r dB/dr =0 ##
##r_{02}=e^{-2B(r)} ##

and so looking at ##r=R## I have:
##r_{02}= -2\pi GR^2 \rho + r_{01} ##and trying to look at ##r=0##:
##e^{2B(r)}= \frac{1}{r_{01}-2\pi G \rho r^2} ##

(all I can conclude is that ##r_{01} \neq 0 ## )

##r_{01} ## and ## r_{02} ## both integration constants.

thanks...

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...
