Parametric Equation of a Sphere in General relativity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The parametric equations for a sphere in General Relativity are crucial for calculating curvature. Key references include Equation 1 from Burko et al. and Equations 3.9, 3.10, 4.1, and 4.7 from Ehlers et al. These equations provide a framework for incorporating the time dimension into the curvature calculations. Understanding these equations is essential for accurate modeling in the context of General Relativity.

What parametric equation would one use to describe a sphere in General Relativity in order to calculate curvature? My main problem is what to do with the time dimension... And no, this is not a homework question.
