Now, moving to 4D, we can compute $$R_{\mu v}$$ as: | |||
$$R_{00} = R^{0}_{000} + R^{1}_{010} + R^{2}_{020} + R^{3}_{030}$$ | |||
$$R_{10} = R^{0}_{100} + R^{1}_{110} + R^{2}_{120} + R^{3}_{130}$$ | |||
$$R_{01} = R^{0}_{001} + R^{1}_{011} + R^{2}_{021} + R^{3}_{030}$$ | |||
etc. | |||
Indexing i over all 4 component vectors / dimensions, we get: | |||
$$R_{00} = \Sigma_{i} R^{i}_{0i0}$$ | |||
$$R_{10} = \Sigma_{i} R^{i}_{1i0}$$ | |||
$$R_{01} = \Sigma_{i} R^{i}_{0i1}$$ | |||
etc. | |||
Summarizing on $$\mu$$, we get: | |||
$$R_{\mu 0} = \Sigma_{i} R^{i}_{\mu i0}$$ | |||
$$R_{\mu 1} = \Sigma_{i} R^{i}_{\mu i1}$$ | |||
etc | |||
Summarizing on $$v$$, we get: | |||
$$R_{\mu v} = \Sigma_{i} R^{i}_{\mu iv}$$ | |||
Open questions: | |||
* If we hadn't moved from 3D to 4D, what would this all have looked like? | |||
* What does this have to do with the parallelogram? | |||
* Why are there two indices? | |||
