Homework Statement
Find a simplified expression for the Riemann tensor in terms of the connection in normal coordinates.
Homework Equations
Riemann tensor = (derivative of connection term) - (derivative of connection term) - (connection term)(connection term) - (connection term)(connection term)
The Attempt at a Solution
My solution is
Riemann tensor = (derivative of connection term) - (derivative of connection term)
, where I have used the fact that the connections evaluated at point P are all 0, but their derivatives are not necessarily 0.
My problem is that 3 MARKS are allocated to this question (from a possible 60 marks in a 2 hour paper), and that this looks far too simple a solution for 3 marks.
What am I missing?
