Hello everyone

I create a curved space ( with Physics) and create a metric tensor of 

a sphere . I see some Christoffel correcly . Is it possible to visualize all non zero Christoffel in one shot ?

Thank's a lot

Best Regards

Hello everybody

I would like to check, with Spacetime Tensors computation , if  a transfomation is a Lorentz transformation , i.e that leavs Minkosky metric invariant 

For esample a boost  or axis rotation transformation

Some could help me ? ( Maple 2016)

Thank's a lot
