What resources are available for working with General Relativity in Maple?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on resources for working with General Relativity using Maple, specifically version 15. The GRTensor tool is mentioned but noted as outdated, with its last update compatible only with Maple 11. Users are encouraged to explore the built-in tensor package in Maple, which facilitates tensor operations relevant to General Relativity. Additionally, the discussion highlights valuable online resources, including the Differential Geometry Library and specific examples of Einstein's equations solutions available for Maple.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with General Relativity concepts
  • Understanding of tensor operations
  • Knowledge of Maple 15 software
  • Basic skills in differential geometry
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the built-in tensor package in Maple 15
  • Visit the Differential Geometry Library for solutions to Einstein's equations
  • Research the GRTensor tool for historical context and potential applications
  • Investigate modern differential geometry calculations through the provided online resources
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and mathematicians working on General Relativity, as well as students and educators looking to utilize Maple for tensor calculations and differential geometry applications.

I am looking for papers, books or any other resources which I can use to work in General Relativity with Maple.

I know, there is GRTensor tool, but it is not up-to-date as far as I understand from its website (latest test was on Maple 11). I use Maple 15.

Can you advise me something?

Explore build-in tensor package in Maple.
As far as I know, it allows deal with tensors, their operations, and their use in General Relativity both in the natural basis and in a moving frame.

Also visit http://www.digi-area.com/DifferentialGeometryLibrary/. There are hundreds of exact solutions of Einstein's equations with copyable formulas for Maple, Mathematica, MathML and LaTeX.

Finally, http://www.digi-area.com/Maple/atlas/ - doing calculations in modern differential geometry and its applications.
There are some examples which may be interested for you:
