1. Prove that in 4-dimensional case the cyclic relation

is independent of the antisymmetry and symmetry relations

i.e. there exists a tensor of type (0,4) in
such that it satisfies
(2) but not (1).
2. Prove that in 2-dimensional case

where
is the scalar curvature.
3. Show that the curvature tensor of the Schwarzschild metric does not vanish.
4. Find the mass of a black hole if its horizon sphere has the size
of an atom i.e.
the radius about
cm.
5. Prove that the Schwarzschild solution indeed has a singularity (which can not be corrected by changing coordinates).
6. Consider a particle moving in the Schwarzschild gravitation field. Prove that its trajectory is a plane curve.
7. Consider a satellite rotating around a black hole of the given
mass m (or given
Schwarzschild radius 2m) along a circular orbit of a radius R>2m
(outside the horizon sphere). Find
the period of the rotation by a distant observer clock and also by the clock in
the satellite. What happens with these periods as
?
8. Let M be a Riemannian manifold. Define canonical coordinates
near
by transfering arbitrary linear orthonormal coordinates in
near 0 to
a neighborhood of p in M via the geodesic exponential map
.
Prove that in these coordinates
