Magnetic part of the Weyl tensor

ID: magnetic-part-of-the-weyl-tensor

In four spacetime dimensions, relative to a timelike unit normal , define , with the chosen spacetime metric volume tensor. This is the dual tidal part of the Weyl tensor. Normal contractions vanish by curvature and volume-tensor antisymmetry. Its sign depends on the specified orientation and dualization convention.
