The Resemblance between the Christoffel Symbols Derived from the Howusu Metric Tensor and That of the Schwarzschild Metric Tensor

Abstract

A new set of Christoffel symbols Гαβ δ were derived using the Howusu metric tensor. Results obtained were compared with the well-known Christoffel symbols Гαβ δ derived from the Schwarzschild metric tensor by varying the radial distance. It was found that, at r = 0, the Howusu metric tensor behaved slightly different from the Schwarzschild metric tensor, but behaved exactly alike at r = ∞.
