For the orthonormal coframe of a planar warped spacetime, Cartan's first structure equation gives ωi3​=aei and ω3i​=−si​aei, where i=0,1,2 and (s0​,s1​,s2​)=(−1,1,1). All other connection 1-forms vanish. Cartan's second structure equation gives Θi3​=−qei∧e3 and Θij​=−sj​a2ei∧ej for i=j. Lowering the first index makes both the connection 1-forms and the curvature 2-forms antisymmetric. Contraction yields R00​=q+2a2, R11​=R22​=−q−2a2, and R33​=−3q.
