Cartan curvature of a planar warped spacetime
ID: cartan-curvature-of-a-planar-warped-spacetime
For the orthonormal coframe of a planar warped spacetime, Cartan's first structure equation gives and , where and . All other connection 1-forms vanish. Cartan's second structure equation gives and for . Lowering the first index makes both the connection 1-forms and the curvature 2-forms antisymmetric. Contraction yields , , and .
