Trace of extrinsic curvature with a negative shift

ID: trace-of-extrinsic-curvature-with-a-negative-shift

For the threading convention and , contract with . Metric compatibility gives , and the Jacobi determinant derivative formula gives . With zero shift, is the local volume Hubble parameter. Reversing the shift convention reverses both the normal's spatial component and the shift terms; the two conventions must not be mixed.
