Independent components of the Riemann tensor

Показать описание
This video investigates the symmetry properties of the Riemann tensor and uses those properties to determine the number of independent components it possesses in a given n-dimensional space. It does this by looking at the possible combinations of values the indices can take given the symmetry properties this tensor possesses.

I was stuck trying to find a way to get the number of indipendents components for hours, this video is by far the most useful thing I've found on youtube

Thank the universe for this video!!! It helped a lot.

why the ciclicity reduces components of a factor 2/3? thanks for video!

How about this?
1. Antisymmetric property of the Riemann curvature tensor >> n(n-1)/2
2. Symmetric property of the Christoffel symbol >> n(n+1)/2
ㄴSince we made Riemann tensor using the Christoffel symbol.
3. Jacobi Identity of the Riemann curvature tensor >> 1/3
Finally, n^2 (n^2 -1)/12
