◆ get_delta()

const Tensor_sym & Lorene::Connection::get_delta ( ) const

inlineinherited

Returns the tensor $\Delta^i_{\ jk}$ which defines the connection with respect to the flat one: $\Delta^i_{\ jk}$ is the difference between the connection coefficients $\Gamma^i_{\ jk}$ and the connection coefficients ${\bar \Gamma}^i_{\ jk}$ of the flat connection.

The connection coefficients with respect to the triad $(e_i)$ are defined according to the MTW convention:

$\Gamma^i_{\ jk} := \langle e^i, \nabla_{e_k} \, e_j \rangle$

Note that $\Delta^i_{\ jk}$ is symmetric with respect to the indices j and k.

Returns: delta}(i,j,k) = $\Delta^i_{\ jk}$

◆ operator=()

void Lorene::Connection_fcart::operator= ( const Connection_fcart & )

Assignment to another Connection_fcart.

Definition at line 136 of file connection_fcart.C.

◆ p_derive_cov()

Tensor * Lorene::Connection_fcart::p_derive_cov ( const Tensor & tens ) const

virtual

Computes the covariant derivative $\nabla T$ of a tensor $T$ (with respect to the current connection).

The extra index (with respect to the indices of \f$T\f$)
of \f$\nabla T\f$ is chosen to be the \b last  one.
This convention agrees with that of MTW (see Eq. (10.17) of MTW).
For instance, if \f$T\f$ is a 1-form, whose components
w.r.t. the triad \f$e^i\f$ are \f$T_i\f$: \f$T=T_i \; e^i\f$,
then the covariant derivative of \f$T\f$ is the bilinear form
\f$\nabla T\f$ whose components \f$\nabla_j T_i\f$ are
such that 
\f[
 \nabla T = \nabla_j T_i \; e^i \otimes e^j
\f]

@param tens tensor \f$T\f$
@return pointer on the covariant derivative \f$\nabla T\f$ ; 
this pointer is
polymorphe, i.e. it is a pointer on a \c Vector 
if the argument is a \c Scalar , and on a \c Tensor  otherwise.
NB: The corresponding memory is allocated by the method 
\c p_derive_cov()  and 
must be deallocated by the user afterwards.

◆ p_divergence()

Tensor * Lorene::Connection_fcart::p_divergence ( const Tensor & tens ) const

virtual

Computes the divergence of a tensor $T$ (with respect to the current connection).

The divergence is taken with respect of the last index of $T$ which thus must be contravariant. For instance if $T$ is a twice contravariant tensor, whose components w.r.t. the triad $e_i$ are $T^{ij}$ : $T = T^{ij} \; e_i \otimes e_j$ , the divergence of $T$ is the vector

${\rm div} T = \nabla_k T^{ik} \; e_i$

where $\nabla$ denotes the current connection.

Parameters

tens tensor

Returns: pointer on the divergence of ; this pointer is polymorphe, i.e. its is a pointer on a Scalar if is a Vector , on a Vector if is a tensor of valence 2, and on a Tensor otherwise. NB: The corresponding memory is allocated by the method p_divergence() and must be deallocated by the user afterwards.
