For the synchronous-to-Newtonian scalar Fourier transformation, the coefficient of in the transformed spatial metric perturbation must vanish. Thus . Vanishing shift then gives . For these conditions fixThe lapse in conformal Newtonian gauge is , soThe remaining coefficient of isgivingThe homogeneous perturbation requires separate background-coordinate choices; the inverse powers of do not define a transformation for it.
