Homework Statement
I want to know wether the component \omega_{c}^{ab}of the spin connection is zero or not?<br /> <br /> <h2>Homework Equations</h2><br /> de^{a}=-\omega^{a}_{b}\wedge e^{b}&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt;The Attempt at a Solution&amp;lt;/h2&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; de^{a}=-\omega^{a}_{b}\wedge e^{b}&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt; ##=-\omega^{a}_{b,\nu} e^{b}_{\mu} dx^{\nu}\wedge dx^{\mu}##&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt; ##=-\omega^{a}_{b,c} e^{b}_{[\mu}e^{c}_{\nu]} dx^{\nu}\wedge dx^{\mu}##&amp;amp;amp;lt;br /&amp;amp;amp;gt; as it is antisymmetric in ##\mu## and ##\nu##.So it is also antisymmetric in b and c.Thus one can conclude from here.
