In the exterior orthonormal coframe E0=V​dt, E1=dr/V​, E2=rdθ, E3=rsinθdϕ, use Ωab​=21​Rabcd​Ec∧Ed. The independent mixed-index curvature 2-forms are Ω01​=−V′′E0∧E1/2, Ω0A​=−V′E0∧EA/(2r), Ω1A​=−V′E1∧EA/(2r) for A=2,3, and Ω23​=(1−V)E2∧E3/r2. The orthonormal Ricci tensor is diagonal with entries V′′/2+V′/r, −V′′/2−V′/r, and twice (1−V−rV′)/r2. The Einstein field equations with negative cosmological constant then give V=1−2M/r+r2/l2.
