- Kruskal coordinates
The discussion revolves around calculations related to non-rotating black holes, specifically focusing on dimensional consistency in equations involving parameters such as ##p## and ##q##. Participants are examining the formulation of expressions and their implications in the context of general relativity.
There appears to be a productive exchange regarding dimensional analysis, with some participants gaining insights from the comments made. References to external resources, such as Sean Carroll's notes on Kruskal coordinates, have been introduced to aid understanding, although no consensus has been reached on the specific formulations discussed.
Participants note the lack of clear definitions for certain variables, which complicates the verification of their calculations. The discussion also highlights the importance of dimensional consistency in the context of the equations being analyzed.
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
