Synchronous-to-Newtonian transformation with positive spatial perturbations
ID: synchronous-to-newtonian-transformation-with-positive-spatial-perturbations
Define and . Under the passive coordinate shift and , removing the traceless spatial perturbation gives . Removing the mixed time-space metric gives . The remaining diagonal metric components are the displayed Newtonian potentials. This sign convention is opposite to defining the synchronous perturbation by .
