Connection under the frame change.

30 Views Asked by At

In the below picture ,I don't know how to compute the red line 2. But if accept the red line 2, I can compute the red line 3. But there still be a little question, that at last ,I have $$ \Gamma_{ib}^aV^b=V^bF_j^a\partial_iF_b^j+... $$ $$ \nabla_iV^a=V^aF_j^a\partial_iF_a^j+... $$

The $F_j^a=(F_a^j)^{-1}$, at the right part ,I always have three $a$ , it is not same as above.

I want to know how to compute the red line 2. So thanks for detail answer or hint.

(1) Fix a coordinate vector field $E_i$ for $g(0)$ For $g(t)$, consider a frame $$ F_a=F_a^i(t) E_i $$ s.t. $$ g(t)(F_a(t), F_b(t))=\delta_{ab} \ \ast$$ for any $t$

And if we assume that $$ \partial_t F_a^i(t)= g^{ij} R_{jk} F^k_a \ \ast\ast$$ so $$ \frac{\partial }{\partial_t} [ g(t)(F_a(t), F_b(t)) ] $$ $$= -2Ric(g(t)) (F_a(t),F_b(t)) +g_{im} F_b^m g^{ij} R_{jk} F^k_a + g_{mt} F^m_a g^{tj} R_{jk} F^k_b =0$$

That is, solution in $\ast\ast$ is the desired one, which satisfies $\ast$.

(2) Define $$ h:= F^\ast g,\ h_{ij}:= g_{\alpha\beta} F_i^\alpha F^\beta_j $$

That is by (3), $$ \Gamma(h)_{ij}^k = \Gamma(g)_{\alpha\gamma}^\tau F^\gamma_jF^\alpha_i F_\tau^k + E_i(F^\alpha_{j}) F_\alpha^k$$ $$= \Gamma(g)_{i\gamma}^\tau F^\gamma_j F_\tau^k + E_i(F^\alpha_{j}) F_\alpha^k$$

So if $V=V^\alpha F_\alpha$, $$ \nabla_i V^\gamma= E_i V^\gamma + \Gamma_{i\alpha}^\gamma V^\alpha $$

In further $$ \nabla_\beta V^\gamma =F_\beta^i \nabla_i V^\gamma $$

(3) Assume that $ f(x)=y$ is a diffeomorphism and $$h:=f^\ast g $$ Define $$ g_{\alpha\beta }:= g(\partial_{y_\alpha},\partial_{y_\beta}) $$ $$ h_{ij}:= h(\partial_{x_i},\partial_{x_j}) $$ $$ f^\alpha_i:= \frac{\partial y^\alpha}{\partial x_i } $$

So $$ \Gamma(h)_{ij}^k = \Gamma(g)_{\alpha\gamma}^\tau f^\gamma_jf^\alpha_i f_\tau^k + f^\alpha_{ij} f_\alpha^k$$
