Hello,
I am reading through some GR lecture notes and have come across the following:
"A spacetime is static if there exists a coordinate chart where:
∂0gμν = 0
g0i = 0
This spacetime admits a Timelike Killing vector X that satisfies:
X[α∇βXγ] = 0 "
How do I go about proving that this relation is true?
Thanks!
David
