Hello, well I just read a paper by Atish Dabholkar and Ashoke Sen, titled "Quantum Black Holes", pp. 4-5 as shown below

Printed page from a physics text, section 3.1 Schwarzschild Metric, giving the line element ds^2 = -(1 - 2GM/r)dt^2 + (1 - 2GM/r)^-1 dr^2 + r^2 dOmega^2 and noting the apparent singularity at r = 2GM.


Printed page of equations from a physics paper deriving the Schwarzschild metric in Rindler-type coordinates; a red ellipse with question marks highlights the relation dξ^2 (2GM/ξ) = dρ^2.


and I tried to find [itex]d\xi^{2}\frac{2GM}{\xi}=d\rho^{2}[/itex] like this

Handwritten-style derivation: rho^2 = u, xi^2 = v, so rho^2 = 8GM xi, u = 8GM v^(1/2), then du/dv = 4GM v^(-1/2), and the circled result 1/2 d rho^2 = 2GM (1/xi) d xi^2, with question marks beside it.


which is different from the eq. in the paper.

So, could somebody please help me to find my mistake in the calculation? Thank you
