Cyclic permutation

98 Views Asked by At

How did the author do the cyclic permutation?

$\Gamma^k_{ij}g_{kl}+\Gamma^k_{lj}g_{ki}=\partial_jg_{il}$

We can cyclically permute these indices to generate two more equations:

$\Gamma^k_{jl}g_{ki}+\Gamma^k_{il}g_{kj}=\partial_lg_{ji}$

$\Gamma^k_{li}g_{kj}+\Gamma^k_{ji}g_{kl}=\partial_ig_{lj}$

Isn't it supposed to be one cycle for all of them in each equation like those shown below? $\Gamma^k_{jl}g_{ki}+\Gamma^k_{ji}g_{kl}=\partial_ig_{lj}$

$\Gamma^k_{li}g_{kj}+\Gamma^k_{il}g_{kj}=\partial_lg_{ji}$

Thanks for all the help
