| | Differential operators on a smooth manifold. |
 | | Let (dim:b:V) be some basis of V, with (dim:p:dual-V) the implied dual basis of V's dual: this is defined by p(i).b(j) being 1 when i=j but 0 otherwise. |
 | | }), dual to bb in the sense that, for each m in M and i,j in dim, pp(m,i).bb(m,j) is 0 unless i=j, in which case it is 1: call this when(i=j). |
 | | So, let (dim: b :gradient fields) be a pointwise basis of the gradient fields in some neighbourhood and look, therein, at the zero derivative of the metric. |
