    A Non-Abelian Stokes theorem and variation of the EL action

    Today I heard the claim that its wrong to use Stokes(more specificly divergence/Gauss) theorem when trying to get the Einstein equations from the Einstein-Hilbert action and the correct way is using the non-Abelian stokes theorem. I can't give any reference because it was in a talk. It was the...

    I Prime Number Theorem: the meaning of the limit

    Hi All. I have a doubt concerning the limit: $$ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\pi (n)}{Li(n)} = 1 $$. This mathematical statement does not imply that both functions converge to the same value. The main reason is that both tend to infinity as n tend to infinity. I would like to ask you if it is...
