How to obtain reduced Einstein equations?

80 Views Asked by At

It is well known that in wave coordinates, vacuum Einstein field equations are equivalent to the following so called reduced Einstein equations:

$$R_{\mu\nu}+g_{\sigma(\mu}\Gamma_{,\nu)}^{\sigma}=0.$$

But I don't know how to show this fact. The following are my questions and I'd appreciated it if someone could please help.

  1. What does the notation $g_{\sigma(\mu}\Gamma_{,\nu)}^{\sigma}$ mean?

  2. How to show this well known fact? If it is not easy to type, a reference showing how to use wave coordinates to obtain reduced Einstein equations is also appreciated.

My previous answer is wrong because it lowered the index $\sigma$ which breaks the summation convention. This shows that only the two lower indices $\mu$ and $\nu$ that are between the parentheses get symmetrized:

$$ g_{\sigma(\mu}{\Gamma^{\sigma}}_{,\nu)}=\frac{1}{2}( g_{\sigma\mu}{\Gamma^{\color{red}{\sigma}}}_{,\nu}+ g_{\sigma\nu}{\Gamma^{\color{red}{\sigma}}}_{,\mu} ). $$

Previous Answer

There are three indices $\mu,\sigma,\nu$ between the symmetrization parentheses. According to the link I gave $$ g_{\sigma(\mu}{\Gamma^{\sigma}}_{,\nu)}=\frac{1}{3!}( g_{\sigma\mu}{\Gamma^{\color{red}{\sigma}}}_{,\color{lightgreen}{\nu}}+ g_{\sigma\mu}{\Gamma^{\color{lightgreen}{\nu}}}_{,\color{red}{\sigma}}+ g_{\sigma\color{lightgreen}{\nu}}{\Gamma^{\color{red}{\sigma}}}_{,\mu}+ g_{\sigma\color{lightgreen}{\nu}}{\Gamma^{\mu}}_{,\color{red}{\sigma}}+ g_{\sigma\color{red}{\sigma}}{\Gamma^{\mu}}_{,\color{lightgreen}{\nu}}+ g_{\sigma\color{red}{\sigma}}{\Gamma^{\color{lightgreen}{\nu}}}_{,\mu})\,. $$ Just use all permutations of $\mu,\sigma,\nu\,.$
