Tutorial: 3+1 Decomposition with xTensor - IPAM at UCLA
Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) via YouTube
Overview
Explore the ADM-York equations for Einstein's equations through a tutorial on 3+1 decomposition using xTensor. Delve into abstract tensor computations with the open-source xAct suite, a powerful tool for tensor algebra in Mathematica. Join Helvi Witek from the University of Illinois as she guides you through this advanced topic in gravitational wave astronomy. Recorded on September 20, 2021, as part of IPAM's Mathematical and Computational Challenges in the Era of Gravitational Wave Astronomy Tutorial at UCLA, this hour-long session offers valuable insights for researchers and students in the field of gravitational physics.
