A Riemannian manifold with a non-degenerate metric and an inner product $u_{\beta} u^{\beta}=1$

The question is: given a Riemannian manifold with a non-degenerate metric g and an inner product $u_{\beta}u^{\beta}=1$, is $\nabla_{\mu} (u_{\alpha}u_{\beta})=0$ without demanding the trivial ...

Transformation Poincaré-coordinates to global coordinates in $\mathrm{AdS}_2$

For the two dimensional anti de-sitter space $\mathrm{AdS}_2$ one can consider the Poincaré-coordinates $\mathrm{d}s^2_P = -r^2 \mathrm{d}t^2 + \frac{1}{r^2} \mathrm{d}r^2$ which covers only half of ...
