Homework Statement
[/B]
I am trying to compute ##R## from the 3-d metric: ##ds^{2}=d\chi^{2}+f^{2}\chi(d\theta^{2}+sin^{2}\theta d\phi^{2})##
Homework Equations

The space also satisfies the below relationships:
##R=3k##
## R_{abcd}=\frac{1}{6}R(g_{ac}g_{db}-g_{ad}g_{bc})## [1]
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I think I need to compute the christoffel symbols, then the Riemann tensor, and contract etc.
I'm just wondering whether the task is meant to be simplified by eq [1]?( I can see the metric is diagonal and so this reduces the number of non-zero christoffel symobols...)
Thanks in advance.
