Transcript for gr-l07

Hello everyone and welcome to lecture 7.0:10

I'm fairly sure we are still in good time.0:13

Although we can't hang about0:18

with the rest of the section,0:19

the plan is to is to cover.0:20

If we spend 9 lectures 910 and0:27

11 on part three, that's good.0:30

So I my hope is to deal with0:32

the rest of of this chapter,0:35

this part in this lecture and and the next.0:37

So unfortunately we are both this is,0:41

this is Scotland, we have sunlight.0:46

Known again from awkward angles and0:49

we don't seem to have blinds on0:51

these on these windows unfortunately,0:53

so you may have to squint but look cool.0:55

It's autumn where we got to last time1:00

when we finished off this section 322.1:05

And these are the things we covered there.1:08

We talked about the essentially we1:11

talked about the covariant derivative in1:14

flat space and how we could define that1:16

and the covariant derivative in flat1:19

space is the answer to the question,1:22

how does this field vary?1:24

As you move across the space,1:28

given that the space is flat and1:31

so the change in the.1:33

We calculate the change in the.1:36

Um.1:38

In the field has to take account of1:39

the fact that the basis vectors will1:42

be changing across will potentially be1:46

changing across the space for the example,1:48

being the motor the motivating example.1:51

Being the vectors the basis vectors in1:54

in the plane in the basis of spherical1:59

Polaris or of of plane polarized.2:01

Where as you as you're aware the2:03

the the the direction of the of the2:05

radial basis vector changes and the2:08

direction and size of the tangential2:11

basis vector changes as you move2:13

across the space.2:15

And we were able to deal with2:17

that with the current derivative.2:19

I said that for every vector V vector2:21

vector field V there's a tensor.2:26

With one rank higher, called Nabla V.2:29

The components of which tell you2:32

how the vector changes.2:34

The vector field changes as2:36

you move across the space.2:38

And we were able to find the2:39

components of that tensor.2:44

With this rather strange notation,2:47

I think that's the last,2:48

basically the last bit2:50

of notational annoyance.2:51

Are we subjecting you to this2:53

VI semi colon J?2:56

Which is the iconology,2:57

which is just the straightforward2:59

derivative of the the.3:01

That's DV,3:02

the derivative of the ith component of3:03

the of the vector with respect to X J3:06

+ a term involving this Christoffel3:09

symbol called the social connection,3:12

which is basically the thing that encodes.3:14

The way in which the basis3:18

vectors change across the space.3:19

And I said that though I didn't3:24

go into Labor line detail,3:27

there are corresponding expressions for3:28

the covariant derivative of function,3:30

which turns out to be just the.3:32

Derivative. That the gradient operator3:35

we learned about a few lectures back.3:38

And there's corresponding expression for3:42

the great derivative of one form and3:44

associated ones for higher rank tensors,3:47

which we're not going to go3:49

into because the the key idea,3:51

there's nothing really new there.3:53

The key idea is in this expression here,3:55

and that's what we're actually3:58

we're most often use.4:00

So that's what we got last time.4:02

What we're going to do now is 1 bit4:04

of extra calculation and then move4:07

on to the apparently much more exotic4:09

question of how do we do the same thing.4:12

In a case where the space is curved so4:15

so the basis vectors are changing in a4:18

curved space rather just a flat space.4:22

And we'll discover it actually less4:24

less hard than you might anticipate.4:26

But unlikely. Rather annoying.4:29

I think I'll have to put in some4:30

sort of request for blinds to be.4:33

Fixed in this room.4:35

OK. Any questions about that?4:38

We've got to OK, that was just a revision.4:41

But Papa. OK, I'll go back to.4:45

This.4:52

Now what would you do now is work4:55

out how to differentiate the metric,4:57

and that will be illuminating.5:00

In a way. It's illuminating because5:02

it shows a calculation happening,5:04

and it'll be illuminating5:06

because the result is 1.5:06

We'll briefly use later on.5:08

Is that impossible to see?5:11

Really hard, OK?5:15

OK.5:19

So we have a. So we have a vector field V.5:23

Now as you will recall the the5:29

the metric gives us a way of5:31

associating with any vector.5:33

I want phone. In the very5:35

straightforward fashion. One form is.5:39

Um.5:45

We. We.5:48

Metric G.5:52

With. This vector what are the holes?5:57

One of the slots filled in with the vector6:01

and leaves another vector shaped hole.6:04

The result is different one form,6:06

so that's the, that's the one6:08

form corresponding which is sort6:11

of dual to the vector V and it's6:13

mediated by the the metric.6:15

And as we saw that had a has the effect.6:17

In component form of saying that6:22

the components of this one form6:24

VIAGIG. Fiji. Where?6:29

The component of the metric6:33

of the metric vector.6:36

Are these the components of6:38

the corresponding one form?6:39

Are these now?6:40

What happens if we differentiate?6:42

This one form.6:45

What we'll do is we'll6:48

differentiate the left hand side,6:49

we'll differentiate the right6:50

hand side and see what we get.6:51

Now this is our geometrical equation.6:56

In other words,7:00

it's a coordinate independent equation.7:01

There's no, there's no,7:03

although we can talk about the7:04

coordinates of this equation.7:06

This by itself is a coordinate7:08

independent equation.7:10

So we can calculate with it in any.7:11

Coordinate system we're like.7:14

So we pick a coordinate system in7:16

which the calculation is easy.7:18

Of course you pick,7:20

and we're not doing it here.7:21

Here, anything that you haven't7:23

been taught to do previous7:24

stages in your physics education,7:26

you pick coordinates so that7:27

the calculation is easy.7:29

Here the the coordinates we pick are7:30

going to be Cartesian coordinates,7:32

so we're going to calculate with7:35

this using Cartesian coordinates7:37

and in Cartesian coordinates.7:38

The special thing with Cartesian7:39

coordinates is that the basis7:41

vectors are constant.7:44

Across the whole space.7:45

That's when we recorded creating coordinates.7:47

The X&Y basis vectors are are what7:50

they are across the whole space,7:53

and what that means is that the7:56

christophel symbols for Cartesian7:59

coordinates are all zero.8:00

The Christoffel symbols pick up8:02

the change in the basis vectors8:04

as you move around the space,8:05

so the basis vectors don't change.8:07

The Christoffel symbols are zero,8:08

so conveying differentiation in8:10

these coordinates is trivial.8:13

Um. What this means is that.8:18

Uh. And in other words.8:21

In these coordinates.8:27

Equivalent derivative of the vector V.8:29

Is just. DVI by DXJ. E.8:33

Aye without the corresponding term8:40

which involves differentiation of the.8:46

Basis vectors because8:49

that derivative is 0. OK.8:50

So so you can either think8:56

of this as being the.8:58

The the the the expression for the9:02

current derivative with the covenant9:04

with the Christoffel symbol zero.9:05

Or you can think of as just9:07

libras rule with the second term9:10

which would be IDE IDE I DXG.9:12

Disputing because DVD I DXG.9:14

Because that's zero in Cartesian coordinates.9:33

If we even had, you didn't have that9:39

Shadow Cross. It would be better.9:42

And what that means?9:46

Is that if we ask what is the?9:48

And what happens if we apply?9:51

That vector. THG.9:55

To the. Metric metric. That's.10:01

By two and DVI by DX JEI.10:09

And because the metric is a tensor,10:17

it's linear in uterus arguments,10:20

so that's a DVI by DX JPG.10:22

OK.10:34

Now. This. Thing here.10:37

Is. And. If you think of it.10:44

Well, it has the property10:50

that it that is dual. To the.10:53

Basis vectors EI. Because10:57

GEI. EJ. Is equal to well delta.11:03

IG's if you could do one11:10

when the statement and.11:12

00 otherwise that that's11:14

we know that to begin with.11:15

In other words,11:16

GEI.11:20

Is equal to.11:23

One of the beaches one forms.11:26

In other words. This expression11:33

here. Um is. DVI by DXJ.11:37

Who written this? Yes.11:46

Omega I is DVI by DX J Omega I.11:49

Summed over I.11:60

Something over I because this is.12:02

The two eyes are both raised to the12:07

instantiation convention doesn't apply,12:10

so I've got to explicitly say12:12

that what we're summing here.12:14

OK, so that looks rather12:17

strange expression. OK.12:19

Now let's look at that.12:22

That's what we've done by.12:25

Especially differentiating12:28

the right hand side of this.12:28

Of of the situation here.12:32

If we now ask how, what happens if12:35

we differentiate the left hand side?12:36

Then what we get. Um.12:40

Is. The level that you.12:47

32. V tilde. So we're looking at this again.12:55

No difference in the left hand side there.13:01

That's differentiating.13:06

The. I what we got what we got I13:09

because V is our our one form so it13:14

will have some components in the13:17

one form in the one form basis.13:20

Since the. Basis vectors.13:27

Are constant in this basis in13:29

the in this coordinate system.13:32

Then the one form is a constant13:34

in this coordinate system,13:36

so the one form is also.13:37

Do not vary as we move across the space,13:39

so again this ends up being DVI.13:44

By the XG. Omega. Aye with, with.13:48

No D Omega by the XJ term.13:54

Because the basis vectors are.13:59

Constant.14:01

But. In these coordinates. The.14:06

Special thing is that.14:13

The components. No.14:15

I think I have somewhere14:20

explained why this is obvious.14:23

I'm you know I'm have to be14:26

recalled but have thought but14:31

the in these coordinates.14:33

The components of base of14:35

vectors in one forms are this14:37

are equal in these coordinates.14:40

Only in creating coordinates14:48

and what that means is this.14:49

And this. Are equal, so DVI.14:52

Raised by the XG and DVI14:56

lowered by the XG are are equal14:59

so this is equal to this.15:02

And what that tells us.15:05

Is that they are equal in these15:09

in this coordinate system.15:12

But if they're equal as components.15:14

In in one coordinate system.15:17

Then they are equal as tensors15:20

in all coordinate systems.15:22

So two things are equal. In.15:23

One basis. Component by component,15:26

and that's telling you that they15:29

point in the same direction.15:30

They are the same vectors.15:32

And so you've gone from doing15:34

the calculation in a nice easy.15:36

And coordinate system Cartesian15:38

vector Cartesian coordinates.15:40

But it would draw geometrical conclusion15:42

that these two things are equal as vectors.15:44

But that means that they're equal,15:47

independent of the coordinate system.15:49

So we've picked a nice coordinate15:51

system to make the calculation easy.15:53

But still ended up with our15:55

geometrical result which is that the.15:59

Um.16:02

This.16:03

Um. Derivative of the?16:09

Of this one form V. Is equal to.16:15

Um, this thing here? She.16:20

As a geometrical result.16:29

So.16:33

Next right.16:36

10.2 here. Look of it.16:41

So where do we go next from there?16:43

The um.16:48

The component form of this16:56

is this expression here.16:57

And.17:01

VI is equal to17:07

GIJVG.17:12

And the. Component form of. This expression.17:14

Umm.17:22

Yep. Is VI semi colon G? Is equal to G. IG.17:25

VK. To him I key. They're calling G.17:37

And you may have to, you know,17:46

see that a bit to reassure17:48

yourself that that's the case.17:49

So.17:53

This isn't trivial. We know that17:57

there is a given this tensor V VK18:00

semi colon G we know there's some. A18:03

tensor, which is what you get18:09

when you lower the indexes.18:13

What this what worked out is the chance18:16

that you get when you lower the top18:18

index in that covariant derivative.18:21

The chance you get is this covariant18:23

derivative of the corresponding one form.18:26

OK. That's good.18:28

So what we didn't do is we didn't get that18:32

expression there by differentiating that.18:35

It looks like this expression18:38

is just the derivative of that,18:40

but it's not.18:42

We got that by a different route18:42

this calculation here.18:44

So what do we get?18:47

Who would differentiate this?18:49

That's just life.18:52

That's the rule, really.18:53

So V. I semi colon.18:54

Ugg. Is equal to19:00

GIK semi colon JVJ. Plus.19:05

GIKVK. semi colon. Gee.19:11

And that's just liveness rule.19:14

Like this rule where you you19:18

you differentiate a product19:20

by differentiating one you19:21

learned about in school.19:23

It's the I think,19:24

I think it's all generally.19:26

So if.19:31

So this we obtained by this argument.19:36

This we obtained by differentiating that.19:38

If these should be equal.19:42

That term is the same.19:46

And this term must be 0.19:48

So what we have done is19:50

discover that this that well19:53

this term is going to be 0,19:55

so this term must be 0.19:57

In other words.20:00

GIK, semi colon G. Is equal to 0.20:05

It could be a derivative of the metric.20:11

0. What does that mean?20:14

If we ask ourselves what? And.20:18

Consider the.20:26

And. Inner product AB. That's GIGA.20:30

BG. And if we differentiate that, so ask.20:40

With the driver of that of that number.20:46

Libraries. Really. Again. GI. G.20:49

So the the the case component of that.20:56

Semi colon key AIBJ difference in that21:01

1 + g I. GA semi colon K. PG plus G.21:05

IGE. IB. G. key. But if this is 0.21:16

Then that tells us.21:26

That as we move around to the,21:28

the as we move around the space. The.21:30

The way that the inner product varies.21:39

Is purely due to the way that21:43

the to the derivatives of A&B.21:46

Is not due to the inner product is,21:49

which you feel like is the.21:53

The size it describes the the the21:59

the size of this of this object.22:01

So it is a dot A for example,22:03

it would be describing the22:05

side side of the of the vector.22:07

What they're telling us is that as that22:10

varies as you move around the space.22:13

The change in that is22:16

purely just changes in the.22:17

The vector and not changes in the22:19

coordinate in the underlying coordinates.22:22

So something.22:24

So in other words this is telling us.22:25

This is in a sense what gives us22:27

license to think of the metric as22:30

being a measure of the size of the22:31

of of a vector at different points.22:33

Because this is telling us that when22:35

the the the metric between 8:00 or E22:37

changes as you move around is not just22:39

an artifact which of the coordinates22:41

changing under you it's it's it's the,22:43

the, the.22:46

The, the, the,22:47

the vector,22:48

the vector field changing rather than the22:49

an artifact of the coordinate change.22:51

So this is.22:53

This in a sense is what gives us22:54

license to talk about G as a metric as as,22:56

as, as a length,22:58

we and and also via the the dot22:59

product as a way of talking about23:01

the angle between two things.23:03

To that angle is at a well defined thing.23:05

The direct question in the sense23:08

that you say that the derivative23:10

of the number is not.23:12

The derivative of somebody?23:15

No, it's not. Yes, so.23:16

So say that again.23:20

We know that a dot B yeah wouldn't23:21

it be vectors is a number yes.23:24

And then you differentiate the number23:26

but you didn't get 0 differentiated it.23:28

Yes so that it was derivative of a23:32

that would be the length of the vector.23:36

So I as you move around the the space23:38

in different parts of the space this23:40

electric fuel see might not only change23:43

in direction might change the length.23:46

So the derivative of of a dot A23:48

would be the rate the derivative23:52

of the length of that vector.23:54

So it went from here to here.23:59

Then that derivative would be that24:03

that that length will be changing.24:05

And what this is telling you is that24:07

that's because the vector has changed.24:08

Length is not just a thing24:09

about the coordinates.24:11

So that's an important thing and we'll24:16

come and and that I think also shows24:17

that there are two things that's.24:20

That was three things.24:23

It shows that what I said about the vector,24:25

the metric being useful being a length,24:27

the fact that the covariant24:31

derivative of the metric is 0,24:33

and we will pick up later.24:36

But there's also shows the way that24:37

you can do calculations in this.24:40

Sort of context by doing things24:42

like picking the right coordinates.24:45

And this sort of trick that if24:47

you can come up with a geometrical24:50

result in coordinates.24:53

That these two vectors were equal,24:55

then that geometrical result24:57

is coordinate independent.24:59

Because it's no longer just a25:01

coordinate dependent number.25:04

OK Umm any more to say about that?25:09

Ohh yeah yeah the last thing which I25:14

won't work out is I won't go through25:16

the steps for because it's just25:18

rather tedious is but it's it's it's25:20

important but but the derivation is25:22

not is not particularly interesting is25:24

that you can work out that the before.25:27

We were introduced the Christoffel25:30

symbols at the beginning of near25:33

the beginning of this chapter.25:35

I showed how you could work them25:37

out by working out the.25:40

By explicitly working out the way that25:42

the basis vectors in plain Pollers moved,25:46

you're changed as you moved around the space.25:49

I then said, oh,25:52

and these coefficients are called25:53

the Christoffel symbols.25:55

Match these two equations up and25:56

you can work out what the symbols25:58

are for playing pollers.26:01

They're just the components of the of26:02

the of the expression that we got.26:04

So I'll just, I'll just jump back just.26:06

Think about for blank looks there.26:10

Yeah.26:13

And we saw that.26:16

It's not nobody terribly easy there26:23

but but you'll see that in your26:25

notes that this is the way that the26:27

basis vectors of pain pollers change26:30

over the over the over the plane,26:32

and we can with engine identify that26:34

this 1 / r is the Christoffel symbol26:38

gamma R Theta Theta. That one's gamma.26:43

Theta, R, Theta and so on.26:47

So we can just match those up26:49

and discover what the shuffle26:51

symbols are by that process.26:53

But it's also possible to do this rather26:55

more mechanically and discover that the26:58

and I will copy this down because I27:01

don't want to necessarily get it wrong.27:03

This equation says 36 that the the.27:06

Ijk the IJK is at half.27:11

Gil.27:19

GLK. comma key plus.27:21

GKL. G. Minus. GGK.27:27

So that given the derivatives of the metric.27:37

You can just turn the handle and.27:41

To churn out the values of27:45

the Christoffel symbols.27:48

And I'm not going to ask you to remember.27:49

Memorize that.27:52

But you probably will end up memorizing it,27:52

given that you do enough of the exercises.27:54

And that's a nice. Obvious.27:57

I mean, I'm making your promises here,27:60

but that is a nice sort of.28:01

It's a dull but quite a a nicely28:03

contained exam question to28:06

get you to turn that handle in28:08

and and avoid falling asleep.28:11

It's not pedagogically terribly interesting,28:13

but the same as far as the Examiner28:16

and Peggy were interested in28:18

getting some that will,28:19

that will.28:20

Produce our result.28:23

So I I heartily encourage you to look28:24

at the exercises which are covering28:26

that sort of that sort of thing.28:28

And there's lots of them in28:30

the IT would refer to lunch,28:32

but there's several of them in28:33

the exercises for this part.28:36

And it just gives us practice.28:38

Um, so before we go to the next bit,28:41

we're making good time here.28:44

I'm. I'm. It's so much easier28:45

to keep keep your time face28:48

to face than it is in zoom.28:50

It's so much nicer.28:52

Because I can see you go or28:55

and and and and I can see28:56

you and you can see smile.28:58

It's just I can work out.28:59

If things are are.29:01

Keep keeping up on it after29:03

being neurotic and any29:05

questions before go on.29:07

No, OK.29:11

Um.29:15

OK, so that's the thing.29:29

I just wrote down the turn29:32

the handle expression for the29:34

truffle symbols in terms of29:35

the derivatives of the metric.29:36

And those are the key points from29:41

this section. The key thing the29:45

metric tensor this tensor that we've.29:48

That, I said, was somewhat arbitrary.29:51

But because of its of of the way in29:54

which we use the the the the metric,29:57

well, it is arbitrary.29:59

In the sense that.30:02

You pick a metric tensor,30:04

and you pick the shape of the30:05

of of the species describing.30:07

But in mathematical terms30:08

it's somewhat arbitrary.30:10

But because the tensor is what we30:11

the metric tensor is what we use to30:13

map to turn vectors into one forms.30:16

It because of that.30:18

The problem it has the property.30:21

That the, the, the, the.30:23

The convent derivative of the metric30:26

metric is 0 and which means it's30:28

legitimate to use it as a measure of length.30:30

And then this expression here,30:33

which I omit simply because it's30:35

tedious to actually calculate30:38

and it's not interesting.30:40

But the details are on shoots.30:42

Or think in Carol's most you know,30:43

most most fat GR textbooks will30:45

have a derivation of that if you're30:47

interested or don't believe me, OK.30:49

Next.30:54

Umm.30:58

How old are you?31:02

Right. What we now want to do, as I said,31:07

we've now talked a bit about the31:11

convenient derivative in flat space.31:14

Not necessarily Cartesian31:17

coordinates, but flat space.31:19

Meaning one where Euclid's31:22

geometry works and so on.31:24

Or when Minkowski geometry works,31:26

so Minkowski space is also a flat space.31:28

And I I'm I'm here giving a rather31:31

hand waving definition of flat spaces.31:33

We will later discover what you know,31:36

I'm more more precise31:37

definition of our flat pieces,31:38

but I hope you have a a fairly intuitive31:39

notion what a flat space is at this point.31:42

So what we want to do is also31:44

differentiate things in non flat spaces,31:47

for example on the surface of a sphere or.31:49

In the cosmos or something.31:53

So these are not flat spaces.31:55

The nucleus, the parallel axiom nucleus,31:56

doesn't work on a sphere,31:60

and it doesn't work in the cosmos.32:01

So how do we?32:05

Port what we have learned32:06

about conveying differentiation32:08

in flat space into covering32:09

differentiation on a curved space.32:11

What we do is we jump up and down.32:14

Because I said that it's easy. Well,32:18

it's important to pick your coordinates.32:22

If you do a calculation in the32:24

right coordinates, it's easy.32:26

So what you do is you've picked up well.32:27

So, so so how do you change coordinates?32:31

You change coordinates by picking32:33

a Lambda that, that, that,32:34

that this coordinate transformation matrix32:36

that we learned about back in Part 2.32:38

And you have 4 by 4.32:40

By the case of,32:42

you have N by N numbers there,32:43

and as long as the matrix is invertible,32:46

and as long as.32:49

Uh. It's not singular.32:53

And I think the same thing.32:55

And then you have a number of32:57

degrees of freedom so you can pick.32:59

A transformation from whatever33:02

chords you're starting off with.33:04

On your sphere or whatever into33:06

a flat into flat coordinates.33:09

And you can do better.33:13

You can you can pick coordinates33:14

where not only is the.33:17

Is the metric in that new?33:21

Coordinate system diagonal33:26

meaning it's it's flat,33:28

but the derivatives of those of33:30

those components are also zero.33:33

In other words, you can pick coordinates.33:35

In which the metric? Is.33:39

The metric of special activity,33:43

that's the minus plus,33:45

plus plus or plus, minus, minus, minus,33:46

depending what your convention is.33:48

Plus some of which is a33:52

second order in the. Um.33:54

In in, in, in in the in33:60

the component functions.34:02

And that's very easy to do.34:03

You just do that.34:04

You're in freefall, your metric diagonal.34:07

Diagonalizing your personal metric is easy.34:11

You do it every time you jump up and down,34:13

given you jump up and down with the34:14

late more often than once a day,34:16

which is very important to do.34:18

Um. And what that means is we34:20

can start to talk about um.34:24

So I I said we can't do this.34:27

In a moment I'm going to explain34:30

why that's useful to do.34:31

Because now we're going to talk34:34

about differentiation and why34:36

it's hard in a curved space.34:38

Ohh, that, that's, this is called34:41

the local flatness theorem.34:43

The theorem that you can do this is34:44

called the local flatness theorem.34:45

And the the the frame that you get,34:47

the coordinate system that you get when you34:49

do this is called the local and national34:51

frame because it's a it's a natural frame.34:52

It's in freefall.34:54

It corresponds to the natural34:55

frames of special relativity.34:57

So we know what that is.34:58

We the local national frame of34:60

freefall is something we understand,35:02

and it's the freefall frame that35:04

we're talking about back in part one.35:06

OK, so it's a good, nice,35:08

it's a nice good frame.35:09

And this in this sense is one35:10

reason why we made a fuss about the35:12

local national frame in part one,35:14

because it is the framework35:16

which has these nice properties.35:18

That it's it's just special relativity.35:19

No. You know how to differentiate things.35:25

You learned that in school?35:29

That I trust that looks completely familiar,35:33

right? What's happening here? Is that you?35:36

Take up your difference your function.35:40

You ask what's the difference35:43

between the function at the point X,35:44

the function a little bit35:46

further along the opposite.35:47

Divide that by how far you've gone35:49

and take the limit as that goes to 0.35:51

Now that's nice and well defined.35:55

But it depends. On. A minus sign.35:58

And it depends on division.36:04

In other words, that depends on36:06

you being able to say what a36:08

function at this point minus a36:10

function at different point means.36:12

It depends on it being possible36:14

to divide that by a number.36:16

And neither of those things have we36:18

got yet when we're differentiating our36:21

vector field as we move across a space.36:23

So what we have to do is define36:26

what subtraction means for our36:30

vector moving around space,36:32

and define what this divided36:34

by each could correspond to.36:36

So that's what we're doing.36:40

OK, it's just that those two36:42

steps are a little bit hard.36:44

What the the second step is quite easy36:45

once you've got the first step right.36:47

And I know there are there are multiple ways36:52

of talking about the derivative of our.36:54

Of of a vector.36:59

And the we were going to do it36:60

is the the Cuban derivative,37:02

in particular the derivative with37:04

the metric connection so-called.37:06

There are things called leader of this,37:08

there are things called flow derivatives,37:10

are things called 2 forms, and so on.37:11

So there's more than one way of doing this,37:14

but this is the way that's useful in in37:16

GR most useful, most immediately useful,37:19

most commonly useful in GR.37:21

And it relies on the notion37:24

of parallel transport.37:26

And parallel transport.37:28

Age where? I take a vector.37:31

And I see. May I borrow this?37:35

Another vector is parallel to it.37:40

If we put them nearby together,37:42

the fairly obvious parallel37:44

mean that's parallel.37:46

Those two vectors are parallel.37:47

Thank you.37:48

Now if we see that red parallel there.37:50

And to there, and to there,37:53

and to there, and to there,37:55

to there and to there.37:56

Incrementally we can infinitesimally.37:57

Rather, we can end up with a37:59

definition thereby of how you38:02

transport a vector from here.38:04

To a collector somewhere else which is38:06

parallel in the sense I think it is38:10

parallel at each infinitesimal separation.38:13

And what that means?38:16

Is that?38:19

So something like this.38:20

So we can move a vector along a path,38:22

keeping it parallel at each point,38:25

and we end up with these two38:26

vectors being parallel even though38:28

they're separated.38:30

And that matters because.38:31

If you remember when we defined38:36

vectors on the manifold.38:38

I said that the death the definition38:41

of the tangent vector in the manifold.38:44

The tangent vector space on the38:47

manifold was in a space which was38:49

attached to the manifold at one point.38:52

And that space? That's the tangent plane.38:54

TP at M is the tangent plane of the38:57

of the manifold M at the point P.38:60

And the tangent plane TQM which is39:02

tangent plane over the manifold am at39:05

the point Q has nothing to do with this.39:07

Which are different species,39:10

so you can't subtract that vector39:12

there from that vector there.39:15

Which is what we want to do. Super.39:17

What we can do is take a vector here.39:20

And parallel transported along this39:24

curve Lambda. Until we get back,39:28

until we get it into for some Lambda39:30

that goes through both points until39:32

we get it into the same space here.39:34

At that point there are two39:38

vectors in the same space.39:40

So we can subtract.39:41

So we've done the first part of39:45

what we wanted to do with our39:47

definition, differentiation.39:49

We've discovered a way of subtracting39:50

a vector here. Of tracting.39:54

The vector here from the vector here,39:59

which is a little bit further along the path.40:01

And we get a vector as the answer.40:05

We know how far we've had to transport it,40:08

what the difference is in in T so40:10

we've got our H in the bottom line.40:12

We can divide that that vector there by40:14

the amount we've had to do to do this.40:18

At that point we are talking40:21

about the derivative. And and.40:23

So that means that we have are able to40:29

to find the the two steps involved in40:32

defining your derivative in a curved space.40:35

OK, because this is only depends on40:38

the presence of this. Curve Lambda.40:41

No. You know, we haven't said very much here.40:48

Because what we have been vague about.40:52

Is. What this? What we mean by parallel,40:55

I mean what I said was I hope persuasive41:02

that thing to parallel if they are, you know,41:04

if when they're nearby they have the,41:07

they're obviously parallel.41:09

But that is, that's that's that statement.41:11

Has an obviously in it,41:14

so it's not really a mathematical statement.41:16

But we can be precise about what41:18

we mean by parallel by saying, OK,41:20

two things are parallel if in the41:23

local national frame. They are.41:26

Have the same coordinates, so two to so,41:28

so 2 vectors in the local national frame.41:31

Are parallel if the other thing components.41:34

That gives us a definition of parallelism,41:37

a place definition of parallelism.41:39

Which is enough to let us define this.41:41

This. The the the difference.41:47

You let us go from here to here,41:51

and that, and and.41:53

That means that we end up defining.41:56

Great differentiation. In.41:59

And. In the coordinate system42:03

of the local national frame.42:06

But the local metal frame is flat.42:07

And that means that we know how to do that.42:12

So we've gone from defining this42:15

in the recovery space to doing the42:19

same parallel transport thing in.42:24

Our flat space. Which we can do.42:26

So we just have to import what we learned42:30

in the previous section to this case.42:33

And that means that the.42:39

100 hundred freeze this,42:43

and that means that. Well,42:46

that means we're actually finished.42:49

Because we don't have to do42:51

anything else. We can just.42:53

Do I have a slide for that?42:57

The the the definition of the the the.43:02

Greater TV? In. Approach piece43:05

is again just fee I semi colon G.43:10

Umm.43:16

Now, I've I haven't gone through43:19

every step in that whole derivation43:21

because there's more than one way of43:24

of you creeping up on that conclusion.43:26

But I think that I hope43:29

that the the point is clear.43:31

First of all, the parallel transport is43:34

key and in order to give a definition43:35

of what we mean by parallel transport,43:37

we can use the local national frame.43:38

Those two steps are the steps that43:40

allow us to instance step back to the43:42

flat space that we understand already.43:45

But I think it's important to do you know43:51

that you appreciate where those what43:53

what the inputs to that conclusion are.43:54

Um. And and I'm not gonna go through it, but.43:59

You know there are two44:10

further remarks there that.44:13

In the local national frame.44:15

The is it. It's flat,44:18

so the console symbols are zero,44:20

so in the local national frame.44:24

The item Icon G is just VI comma G.44:26

In the local initial. But that's.44:33

That's true for anything,44:41

so it's true for IgG semi colon key.44:43

Well, in this case be IgG IgG comma. Key.44:48

Which because of the what we worked out.44:56

Yep, which because of the definition of the.45:04

Local of the local flatness theorem.45:11

We were able to see not only that45:13

that the vector that the metric45:15

in the new coordinates was zero,45:17

but the derivatives of the metric45:18

in these coordinates was also zero.45:20

So we discovered that this is 0.45:22

In the in the local national frame.45:26

But. We've got tensor equation here45:30

we've got GIIG semi colon K = 0.45:34

That's true as a component calculation.45:39

But seeing this tensor,45:42

the remainder of this tensor is 0.45:44

Is. A geometrical statement.45:48

So although we worked out in these45:51

coordinates the nice easy coordinates,45:53

it's true in general.45:55

So if again worked out.45:57

That the.45:59

And that GGK.46:01

Key is 0. In.46:06

In any coordinates.46:11

So this is one of two comical,46:14

cynical rules.46:17

The other one is insensible.46:18

Interesting. This is a mathematical trick.46:20

We've done the calculation in A-frame,46:23

in which the calculation is easy.46:25

Discovered that by doing so we46:27

have a geometrical statement.46:30

Realize that that is therefore true46:32

in not a coordinate dependent thing,46:34

but our geometrical thing,46:36

and so we're able to go from that46:37

in one frame a special frame,46:39

to the same statement in any frame46:41

as a geometrical statement.46:43

Umm. Right. In the last46:49

couple of moments, I'll just.46:52

No, but it's more sensible if46:58

we start thinking 2.4 next time,47:00

and I'll aim to get through the the47:02

the remainder of this part in the47:04

next lecture which we like to eat,47:06

and that will give us lectures47:07
