2 1. (a) 5 marks. Let (M, g) be a manifold endowed with a metric. Let be the covariant derivative: j ξ i = j ξ i + ξ k Γ i kj, j ξ i = j ξ i ξ k Γ k ij. Show that a torsion-free connection that is compatible with the metric ( k g ij = 0) defines a unique connection, known as the Levi-Civita (or metric) connection. Obtain an expression for the Levi-Civita connection coefficients Γ k ij. Solution: We have k g ij = k g ij g pj Γ p ik g ipγ p jk = kg ij Γ j,ik Γ i,jk = 0, = j g ki Γ i,kj Γ k,ij = 0, (1) = i g jk Γ k,ji Γ j,ki = 0, where Γ j,ik g pj Γ p ik = g jpγ p ik. Taking the sum of the last two equations and subtracting from the sum the first equation, one gets j g ki + i g jk k g ij 2Γ k,ij = 0, (2) where we took into account that the connection is torsion-free, and therefore Γ k,ij = Γ k,ji. Thus, one finds Γ k,ij = 1 2 ( ig jk + j g ki k g ij ) = Γ k ij = 1 2 gkp ( i g pj + j g ip p g ij ), (3) (b) 5 marks. Let (ξ a ) be a vector field and let (g ab ) be a pseudo-riemann metric on a manifold M. Let u ab = L ξ g ab = ξ c g ab x c + g ξ c cb x + g ξ c a ac x b be the strain tensor, i.e. the Lie derivative of (g ab ) along the vector field ξ. Express the strain tensor in terms of covariant derivatives, and the torsion tensor. In the case of a torsion-free connection compatible with the metric, simplify the expression obtained. Solution: We have u ab = L ξ g ab = ξ c g ab x c + g ξ c cb x + g ξ c a ac x = b ξc c g ab + g cb a ξ c + g ac b ξ c. (4) Page 2 of 12
3 It is clear that we should replace. We get ξ c c g ab + g cb a ξ c + g ac b ξ c = ξ c( c g ab g db Γ d ac g ad Γ d bc) + gcb ( a ξ c + ξ d Γ c da) + gac ( b ξ c + ξ d Γ c db ) (5) = u ab ξ c g db T d ac ξ c g ad T d bc. Thus, u ab = ξ c c g ab + g cb a ξ c + g ac b ξ c + ξ c g db T d ac + ξ c g ad T d bc. (6) If g ab is a metric on the manifold, and the connection is torsion-free, and compatible with the metric, the formula simplifies to u ab = g cb a ξ c + g ac b ξ c = a ξ b + b ξ a, T c ab = 0, c g ab = 0. (7) (c) 5 marks. Let M be a manifold endowed with a torsion-free connection. Prove that given any point p M and a chart (x i ) with connection coefficients Γ i jk, one can find a new chart (ˆx i ) such that The coordinates (ˆx i ) are called normal. connection transforms as ˆΓ i jk(p) = 0. ˆΓ i jk = ˆxi x b x c x a ˆx j ˆx k Γa bc + ˆxi 2 x a x a ˆx j ˆx. k You can use without a proof that the Solution: Let p have coordinates x i = 0, ˆx i = 0, i = 1,..., n. Let us look for (ˆx i ) of the form ˆx i = x i Qi jkx j x k, (8) where Q i jk = Qi kj are some constants to be determined from the condition ˆΓ i jk (p) = 0. For small x = max i x i we can invert (8) x i = ˆx i 1 2 Qi jkˆx j ˆx k + O( x 3 ), (9) Then ˆx i x = j δi j + Q i jkx k, x i ˆx = j δi j Q i jkˆx k + O( x 2 ), 2 x i ˆx j ˆx = k Qi jk + O( x ), Page 3 of 12 ˆx i p = δ i x j j, x i p = δ i ˆx j j, 2 x i p = Q i ˆx j ˆx k jk. (10)
4 The connection transforms as Thus, at p we have ˆΓ i jk = ˆxi x b x c x a ˆx j ˆx k Γa bc + ˆxi 2 x a x a ˆx j ˆx. (11) k ˆΓ i jk(p) = Γ i jk(p) Q i jk. (12) So, if we choose Q i jk = Γi jk (p), then ˆΓ i jk (p) = 0. (d) 5 marks. Let M be an m-dimensional surface in Euclidean n-space R n, let π be the linear operator which projects R n orthogonally onto the tangent space to M at an arbitrary fixed point of M, and let X, Y be vector fields in R n tangent to the surface M. Show that the connection on M compatible with the induced metric on M satisfies X Y = π(x k Y x k ). Solution: Let P be the point on M of dim M = m, and let us choose the origin of our Euclidean coordinate system to be at P and the coordinate axes to be oriented so that the axes x m+1,..., x n be perpendicular to the surface at P. Then in a neighbourhood of P the surface M is described by the system x m+1 = f m+1 (x 1,..., x m ),..., x n = f n (x 1,..., x m ), (13) where the functions f p satisfy f p (0) = 0, i f p (0) = 0, and the linear operator which projects R n orthogonally onto the tangent space to M at P is given by m π(x) = X i n x, X = X k i x. (14) k i=1 The induced metric on M is n m ds 2 = (dx k ) 2 = (dx i ) 2 + k=1 g ij (x) = δ ij + i=1 n p=m+1 n p=m+1 ( k=1 m i f p dx i ) 2 = i=1 m g ij dx i dx j, i,j=1 i f p (x) j f p (x), g ij (0) = δ ij, k g ij (0) = 0. (15) Thus with this choice of coordinates in a neighbourhood of P the connection on M compatible with the induced metric on M satisfies Γ k ij(0) = 0, and therefore m X Y = X i Y Y = π(xk xi x ). (16) k i=1 Page 4 of 12

Use the formula to find explicit formulae for Rjkl i and T j kl in terms of the connection coefficients Γ i jk. Solution: We have by definition l ξ i = l ξ i + ξ p Γ i pl, k ξ l = k ξ l ξ p Γ p lk, (17) and therefore [ k, l ] ξ i = k ( l ξ i + ξ p Γ i pl) + l ξ p Γ i pk q ξ i Γ q lk (k l) = k ξ p Γ i pl + ξ p k Γ i pl + l ξ p Γ i pk q ξ i Γ q lk (k l) = ( k ξ p ξ q Γ p qk )Γi pl + ξ p k Γ i pl + l ξ p Γ i pk q ξ i Γ q lk (k l) (18) = ξ q Γ p qk Γi pl + ξ p k Γ i pl q ξ i Γ q lk (k l) = ( k Γ i jl l Γ i jk + Γ i pkγ p jl Γi plγ p jk) ξ j + ( Γ j kl Γj lk) j ξ i. Thus and T j kl is the torsion tensor. R i jkl = k Γ i jl l Γ i jk + Γ i pkγ p jl Γi plγ p jk, T j kl = Γj kl Γj lk, (19) (b) 5 marks. Let a manifold be endowed with a metric, and let the connection be torsion-free and compatible with the metric. List the algebraic symmetries the components of the Riemann tensor satisfy. Use normal coordinates to prove the symmetry properties of the Riemann tensor. Solution: We define R ijkl = g iq R q jkl. Then R ijkl satisfies the following algebraic relations R ijkl + R ijlk = 0, R ijkl + R jikl = 0, R ijkl R klij = 0, (20) R ijkl + R iklj + R iljk = 0. Page 5 of 12
6 If the coordinates are normal, then at p we have k g ij (p) = 0, and ( R ijkl (p) = g iq k Γ q jl (p) lγ q jk (p)) = k Γ i,jl (p) l Γ i,jk (p) = 1 ( ) k l g ij + k j g li k i g jl l k g ij l j g ki + l i g jk (21) 2 = 1 ( ) k j g li k i g jl l j g ki + l i g jk. 2 The symmetry properties of the Riemann tensor straightforwardly follow from the formula. (c) 5 marks. Show that a 2-dimensional Riemann manifold with the line-element ds 2 = e 2φ (dx 2 + dy 2 ) has constant scalar curvature R if and only if φ satisfies the Liouville equation 2 φ x φ y 2 + Ke2φ = 0. where K is a constant which has to be related to R. Solution: The connection does not vanish only in the following cases Γ i ii = i φ, Γ k ii = k φ, Γ k ik = i φ = Γ k ki, k i. (22) Thus R = 1 Γ Γ Γ 1 p1γ p 22 Γ 1 p2γ p 21 = 2 1φ 2 2φ ( 1 φ) 2 + ( 2 φ) 2 ( 2 φ) 2 + ( 1 φ) 2 = 2 1φ 2 2φ. (23) Now, taking into account that in 2D R = g 11 R 1212 = 1 2 g11 gr = 1 2 e2φ R one gets the statement. (d) 5 marks. connection Prove Bianchi s identities for the curvature tensor of a symmetric m R n ikl + l R n imk + k R n ilm = 0. Solution: We use normal coordinate, so that Γ k li = 0 at a given point. Then we have at Page 6 of 12
7 this point R n ikl = k Γ n il l Γ n ik + Γ n pkγ p il Γn plγ p ik m R n ikl = m k Γ n il m l Γ n ik l R n imk = l k Γ n im + l m Γ n ik, (24) Thus k R n ilm = k m Γ n il + k l Γ n im. m R n ikl + l R n imk + k R n ilm = m R n ikl + l R n imk + k R n ilm = 0. (25) Since Bianchi s identities are tensor they hold in any coordinate system. 3. (a) 5 marks. Define a general differentiable n-dimensional manifold. Solution: A differentiable n-dimensional manifold is a set M (whose elements we call points ) together with the following structure on it. The set M is the union of a finite or countably infinite collection of subsets U q with the following properties (i) Each subset U q has defined on it coordinates x α q, α = 1,..., n (called local coordinates) by virtue of which U q is identifiable with a region of Euclidean n-space R n with Euclidean coordinates x α q. The U q with their coordinate systems are called charts or local coordinate neighbourhoods. (ii) Each non-empty intersection U p U q of a pair of charts thus has defined on it two coordinate systems, the restrictions of (x α p ) and (x α q ). It is required that under each of these coordinatisations the intersection U p U q is identifiable with a region of R n, and that each of these coordinate systems be expressible in terms of the other in a one-to-one differentiable manner. Thus, if the transition functions from x α q to x α p and back are given by x α p = x α p (x 1 q,..., x n q ), α = 1,..., n, x α q = x α q (x 1 p,..., x n p), α = 1,..., n, (26) then in particular the Jacobian det( x α p / x β q ) is nonzero on U p U q. The general smoothness class of the transition functions for all intersecting pairs U p, U q is called the smoothness class of the manifold M with its accompanying atlas of charts U q. Page 7 of 12
8 (b) Consider a surface M in n-dimensional Euclidean space R n defined by a set of n m equations f i (x 1,..., x n ) = 0, i = 1,..., n m, where f i are smooth functions such that for all x the matrix ( f i x j ) has rank n m. i. 8 marks. Prove that M is a smooth m-dimensional manifold. Solution: Let J j1...j n m be the minor J j1...j n m made up of those columns of the matrix ( f i / x j ) indexed by j 1,..., j n m. Let U j1...j n m be a set of all points of the surface at which the minor J j1...j n m does not vanish. Since the surface is nonsingular, it is covered by the regions U j1...j n m. Let x 0 (x 1 0,..., x n 0) M. If at x 0 the minor J j1...j n m is nonzero, then as local coordinates on a neighbourhood of the surface about the point we take (y 1,..., y m ) = (x 1,..., ˇx j 1,..., ˇx j n m,..., x n ), (27) where the checked symbols are to be omitted. To show that the covering of M by the charts U j1...j n m defines on M the structure of a smooth manifold we need to show that the transition functions are one-to-one and smooth. Since J j1...j n m 0 on U j1...j n m one can solve the equations f i = 0 for x j i x j i = ϕ i (y 1,..., y m ), i = 1,... n m, (28) where ϕ i are smooth functions. Similarly, in the chart U s1...s n m with coordinates (z 1,..., z m ) = (x 1,..., ˇx s 1,..., ˇx s n m,..., x n ), (29) we have x j i = ψ i (y 1,..., y k ), i = 1,... n m, (30) where ψ i are smooth functions. In the intersection U j1...j n m and U s1...s n m we have the following transition functions y z and z y (where for simplicity Page 8 of 12
9 we assume 1 < j 1 < s 1 < j 2 < ; the general case is clear from this): y 1 = z 1 (= x 1 ) y j 1 1 = z j 1 1 (= x j 1 1 ) ϕ 1 (y 1,..., y m ) = z j 1 (= x j 1 ) y j 1 = z j 1+1 (= x j 1+1 ) y s 1 2 = z s 1 1 (= x s 1 1 ) y s 1 1 = ψ 1 (z 1,..., z m ) (= x s 1 ) y s 1 = z s 1 (= x s 1+1 ) y m = z m (= x m ) (31) It si obvious that the two transition functions shown above are mutual inverses, completing the proof. ii. 7 marks. Let ξ and η be two vector fields on R n. Define the commutator (Lie Bracket) of the vector fields ξ and η. Show that if the vector fields ξ and η are both tangent to M, then their commutator is also tangent to M. What does this say about the linear space of vector fields tangent to a surface? Solution: The commutator of two vector fields ξ and η on a manifold is defined by where y i are local coordinates on the manifold. Locally M is given by [ξ, η] i = ξ j ηi ξi ηj yj y, (32) j y m+1 = 0,..., y n = 0, (33) where y 1, y n are local (non-euclidean) coordinates of R n, and y 1, y m serve as local coordinates on M. Any vector field ξ tangent to M has ξ m+1 = 0,..., ξ n = 0 at any point of M. Thus, ξ i y j = 0, i = m + 1,..., n, j = 1,..., m. The commutator of the vector fields ξ and η tangent to M is [ξ, η] i = ξ j ηi ξi ηj yj y = m (ξ j ηi ξi j ηj ) = 0 for i = m + 1,..., n. yj yj j=1 Page 9 of 12 (34)
10 Thus, [ξ, η] is tangent to M. This means that the linear space of vector fields tangent to a smooth surface is a subalgebra of the Lie algebra of all vector fields. 4. (a) 5 marks. Define a group. Define a Lie group. Define a Lie algebra. Solution: Definition 1. A group is a nonempty set G on which there is defined a binary operation (a, b) ab satisfying the following properties. Closure: If a and b belong to G, then ab is also in G. Associativity : a(bc) = (ab)c for all a, b, c G. Identity: There is an element 1 G such that a1 = 1a = a for all a in G. Inverse: If a G, then there is an element a 1 G: aa 1 = a 1 a = 1. Definition 2. A manifold G is called a Lie group if it has given on it a group operation with the property that the maps ϕ : G G, defined by ϕ(g) = g 1 (i.e. the taking of inverses) and ψ : G G G defined by ψ(g, h) = gh (i.e. the group multiplication), are smooth maps. Definition 3. A Lie algebra is a vector space G over a field F with a bilinear operation [, ]: G G G which is called a commutator or a Lie bracket, such that the following axioms are satisfied: It is skew symmetric: [x, x] = 0 which implies [x, y] = [y, x] for all x, y G. It satisfies the Jacobi Identity: [x, [y, z]] + [y, [z, x]] + [z, [x, y]] = 0. (b) 5 marks. Choose a basis of the Lie algebra sl(2, R) of the Lie group SL(2, R), and calculate the commutation relations the basis matrices satisfy. Solution: The sl(2, R) algebra is the space of real traceless matrices. We choose as its basis the matrices L 3 = , L 1 = , L 2 = (35) Page 10 of 12
11 They satisfy the sl(2, R) Lie algebra commutation relations [L 3, L 1 ] = 2L 2, [L 3, L 2 ] = 2L 1, [L 1, L 2 ] = 2L 3. (36) (c) Consider the set SL(2, R) of all transformations of the real line of the form x x + 2πa + 1 i ln 1 ze ix 1 ze ix, where x R, a R, z C, z < 1 and ln is the main branch of the natural logarithmic function, i.e. the continuous branch determined by ln 1 = 0. i. 5 marks. Show that SL(2, R) is a connected 3-dimensional Lie group. Solution: It is obvious that SL(2, R) is a connected 3-dimensional manifold because it is R D 2 where D 2 is the disk z < 1. To show that it is a Lie group we consider the composition of two transformations with parameters a i, z i, i = 1, 2. We get T g2 T g1 (x) = T g2 (x + 2πa i ln 1 z 1e ix 1 z 1 e ix ) = x + 2πa i ln 1 z 1e ix 1 z 1 e + 2πa ix i ln 1 z 2e i(x+2πa1+ 1 i ln 1 z 1 e ix 1 z 1 e ix ) = x + 2π(a 1 + a 2 ) + 1 i ln 1 z 1e ix 1 z 2 1 z 1 e ix 1 z 1 z 1 e ix 2 1 z 2 e i(x+2πa 1+ 1 i ln 1 z 1 e ix 1 z 1 e ix ) 1 z 1 e ix 1 z 1 e ix e i(x+2πa 1) 1 z 1 e ix e i(x+2πa 1) = x + 2π(a 1 + a 2 ) + 1 i ln 1 z 1e ix z 2 (1 z 1 e ix )e i(x+2πa 1) 1 z 1 e ix z 2 (1 z 1 e ix )e i(x+2πa 1) = x + 2π(a 1 + a 2 ) + 1 i ln 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 (z 1 + z 2 e 2πia 1 )e ix 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 ( z1 + z 2 e 2πia 1 )e ix = x + 2π(a 1 + a 2 ) + 1 i ln 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 (z 1 + z 2 e 2πia 1 )e ix 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 ( z1 + z 2 e 2πia 1 )e ix = x + 2π(a 1 + a 2 ) + 1 i ln 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 = x + 2πa i ln 1 z 21e ix 1 z 21 e ix = T g 2 g 1 (x), where the parameters a 21 and z 21 of T g2 g i ln 1 z 1+z 2 e 2πia1 1+z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 e ix 1 z 1+ z 2 e 2πia 1 1+ z 2 z 1 e 2πia 1 eix are given by (37) a 21 = a 1 + a πi ln 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia1, z 1 + z 2 z 1 e 2πia 21 = z 1 + z 2 e 2πia z 2 z 1 e. (38) 2πia 1 Note that z 21 < 1 if z 1 < 1 and z 2 < 1. Page 11 of 12
12 ii. 5 marks. Calculate the Lie algebra of SL(2, R) and show that it is isomorphic to sl(2, R). Solution: Since the identity element of SL(2, R) corresponds to a = z = 0, one gets expanding (38) a 21 = a 1 +a πi (z 2 z 1 z 2 z 1 )+..., z 21 = z 1 +z 2 2πia 1 z (39) Introducing z k = u k + iv k, k = 1, 2, one gets a 21 = a 1 +a π (v 2u 1 u 2 v 1 )+..., u 21 = u 1 +u 2 +2πa 1 v , v 21 = v 1 +v 2 2πa 1 u (40) Now, choosing x 1 = u, x 2 = πa, x 3 = v, as the local coordinates, we get the nonzero structure constants of the Lie algebra c 2 31 = 2, c 1 32 = 2, c 3 12 = 2. (41) Thus, the Lie algebra of SL(2, R) is [J 3, J 2 ] = 2J 1, [J 3, J 1 ] = 2J 2, [J 1, J 2 ] = 2J 3, (42) which the same as (36). Page 12 of 12
