I would like to ask whether it is possible to define two different metrics on the same manifold and then have Christoffel symbols, Riemann, Ricci and Einstein tensors for each of them.
I tried the obvious by just evaluating DefMetric a second time with a different symbol and a different covariant derivative.
DefManifold[M, 4, {a, b, c, d, e, f, i, j, k, l}]
DefMetric[-1, g[-a, -b], CD, {";", "\[EmptyDownTriangle]"}]
DefMetric[-1, h[-a, -b], Cd, {"|", "\[FilledDownTriangle]"}]
Initially it seemed as though I had what I wanted, but then I started computing things and I noticed that the second metric is not really treated properly as such.
Writing h[b,c]h[-a,-b] doesn't reduce to a delta function, no matter what I do, hence in my calculations I get things like h[i,-j] which doesn't simplify to a delta function.
I need this because I want to define a Tensor that is the difference between two connections which are with respect to two different metrics and then take its covariant derivative (with respect to one of the metrics).
