The discussion focuses on the dimensional consistency of equations related to non-rotating black holes, specifically questioning the argument of the natural logarithm function in the context of the equation (8.13). Participants agree that the form should be adjusted to ##|r/r^* - 1|## for consistency. Additionally, Sean Carroll's notes on General Relativity, particularly regarding Kruskal coordinates, are recommended as a valuable resource for understanding these concepts. Key equations from Carroll's notes, especially (7.74) and (7.75), are highlighted for their relevance to the discussion.
PREREQUISITESStudents and researchers in theoretical physics, particularly those focusing on black hole mechanics and General Relativity, will benefit from this discussion.
Yes, things seem to work out better with the r/r*-1 form.park said:i finally got a clue with your comment about dimensions!
For consistency of dimension, i think r-r* of (8.13) should be r/r*-1
