Einstein Einstein equation

Click For Summary

The left-right arrow notation ##a \leftrightarrow b## in the Einstein equation indicates a symmetry between the indices a and b, suggesting that the last term can be expressed with these indices exchanged. This symmetry implies that the left-hand side (LHS) and right-hand side (RHS) of the equation are equivalent when the indices are swapped. The discussion also highlights the relevance of this notation in understanding the properties of the equation. The inquiry into its meaning reflects a broader interest in the nuances of Einstein's equations. Overall, the notation emphasizes the inherent symmetry in the mathematical formulation.

Short, probably stupid, question; what does this left-right arrow ##a \leftrightarrow b## at the bottom-right mean? [It's this paper for ref.]

Does it just mean the last term repeated, except this time with ##a## and ##b## indices exchanged? Thanks.

LHS is symmetric as for a nd b so RHS is also. So your thought seems reasonable.

Thread 'Analog power supply output question'

I'm setting up an analog power supply. I have the transformer bridge and filter capacitors so far. The transformer puts out 30 volts. I am currently using two parallel power transistors and a variable resistor to set the output. It also has a meter to monitor voltage. The question is this. How do I set up a single transistor to remove whats left of the ripple after the filter capacitors. It has to vary along with the control transistors to be constant in its ripple removing. The bases of the...
