Member Function Documentation

◆ del_deriv()

void Lorene::Connection::del_deriv ( ) const

protectedinherited

Deletes all the derived quantities.

Definition at line 208 of file connection.C.

References Lorene::Connection::p_ricci, and Lorene::Connection::set_der_0x0().

◆ 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) = $\Delta^i_{\ jk}$

◆ get_mp()

const Map& Lorene::Connection::get_mp ( ) const

inlineinherited

Returns the mapping.

Definition at line 253 of file connection.h.

References Lorene::Connection::mp.

◆ operator=()

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

Assignment to another Connection_flat.

Definition at line 110 of file connection_flat.C.

◆ p_derive_cov()

virtual Tensor* Lorene::Connection_flat::p_derive_cov ( const Tensor & tens ) const

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

$\nabla T = \nabla_j T_i \; e^i \otimes e^j$

Parameters

tens tensor

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

Reimplemented from Lorene::Connection.

Implemented in Lorene::Connection_fcart, and Lorene::Connection_fspher.

◆ p_divergence()

virtual Tensor* Lorene::Connection_flat::p_divergence ( const Tensor & tens ) const

pure 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.

Reimplemented from Lorene::Connection.

Implemented in Lorene::Connection_fcart, and Lorene::Connection_fspher.

const Tensor & Lorene::Connection_flat::ricci ( ) const

virtual

Computes (if not up to date) and returns the Ricci tensor associated with the current connection.

void Lorene::Connection::set_der_0x0 ( ) const

protectedinherited

◆ update() [1/2]

void Lorene::Connection::update ( const Tensor_sym & delta_i )

inherited

Update the connection when it is defined ab initio.

Parameters

Parameters
