Question on Lorentzian geometry
I apologize in advance if this is a too basic question.
Let $(M,g)$ be a Lorentzian manifold with signature convention $(-,+,\dots,+)$. Now, lets suppose $X\in\Gamma(TM)$ defines a global time-...

Decomposition of tensor field on hypersurface
Let $(\mathcal{M},g)$ be a Lorentzian manifold, which is globally of the form $\mathcal{M}\cong I\times\Sigma$, where $I\subset\mathbb{R}$ ("time") and $\Sigma$ ("space") is some $...

Tensor Field Decomposition in Space time
For vector fields in $R^3$ one knows that there exists a unique decomposition of vector fields in to solenoidal (divergence free) and potential parts. A generalization of this Theorem for symmetric ...
