# REFERENCE:

Main reference for all definitions and calculations:

# BASIC DEFINITIONS AND NOTATION:

* We will use the Metric signature: (- + + +)                      

* For the null-tetrad vector names, the ref. book uses (k,l,m,mbar). However, in the code we will use (l,n,m,mbar) like the rest of the literature. Therefore one should set k->l, l->n in the ref. book

- Products of the vectors are given by: l*n = -1, m*mbar = 1, all others zero.  
  
- The metric is found using the covariant null-tetrad vectors as:
  
    g = -2*l*n + 2*m*mbar
                            
  and,

    g = [[0  1  0  0], [1  0  0  0], [0  0  0 -1], [0  0 -1  0]]

- Please check the reference book for the details and further definitions.

# INSTRUCTIONS WITH EXAMPLES:

- **Import the class:**
  
    from SageNP import NewmanPenrose
    
- **Define your manifold:**
  
    MyManifold = Manifold(4 , 'MyManifold', r'\mathcal{Man}')

- **Define your coordinates:**
  
    MyCoordinates.<t,r,th,ph> = MyManifold.chart(r't r th:\theta ph:\phi')

- **Define the metric functions (if needed):**

    var('M')
    Delta=r^2-2*M*r
    
- **Enter null tetrad elements:**

    lvec=[1,-(r^2)/Delta,0,0]
  
    nvec=[Delta/(2*r^2),1/2,0,0]

    mvec=[0,0,(-r/sqrt(2)),(-I*r/sqrt(2))*sin(th)]

    mbarvec=[0,0,(-r/sqrt(2)),(I*r/sqrt(2))*sin(th)]

    - *Here, the element ordering is the same as the coordinate ordering. (The first element is the t element, the second is the r element, etc.)*

- **Define an object of the class:**
  
    schw=SageNP(MyManifold,MyCoordinates,lvec,nvec,mvec,mbarvec,'covariant')
  
  - *Here, our null-tetrad vectors lvec, nvec, mvec and mbarvec are covariant. Thus we used the keyword 'covariant'.*
  
  - *If they were contravariant, then we should use the keyword 'contravariant'.*

- **Once the object is defined, the code calculates the metric and displays it on the screen. It is recommended that you check your metric.**
