Solution to tensor differential equations

In summary, the conversation discusses the need for two solutions to two different tensor differential equations, one with a source and one without. The individual has found a potential solution for the sourceless equation and asks for feedback. They also mention making a replacement to simplify the equation.

hello all,

I need two solutions to two different tensor diffeqs. I think I may have the solution to the sourceless equation, however I am in the dark about the one with the source.


[tex] \left(\partial_{\gamma}\partial_{\alpha}+\imath k^{\beta}g_{\alpha\beta}\partial_{\gamma}\right) \phi=T_{\gamma\alpha}\phi [/tex]

and

[tex] \left(\partial_{\gamma}\partial_{\alpha}+\imath k^{\beta}g_{\alpha\beta}\partial_{\gamma}\right) \phi=0 [/tex].

Any help would be appreciated.

here is my solution for the source less equation, feel free to check it please.

[tex] \phi^{\gamma\alpha}=Ae^{-\imath\left(\delta^{\gamma}_{\alpha}k_{\gamma}x^{\alpha}\right)}+Be^{-\imath\left(k_{\alpha}x^{\alpha}-k_{\gamma}x^{\gamma}\right)} [/tex]

thanks.

thanks.

I also made the replacement [tex]k_{\beta}=k^{\alpha}g_{\alpha\beta} [/tex]
