This article has been automatically assessed as Stub-Class by WikiProject Physics because it uses a stub template. If you agree with the assessment, please remove {{Physics}}'s auto=yes parameter from this talk page. If you disagree with the assessment, please change it by editing the class parameter of the {{Physics}} template, removing {{Physics}}'s auto=yes parameter from this talk page, and removing the stub template from the article.

[edit] Advice to stub expanders (probably myself, when I find time)

1. general first, specific later
   • n dimensions first, 1+3 later
2. nontechnical first, technical later
   • mention role of Lluis Bel in first paragraph
   • in later technical paragraphs:
     • relate to matrix decomposition in MTW exercise
     • explain physical interpretation in gtr in a frame of the three pieces
     • make sure to contrast roles of frame and congruence in interpretation; choice of frame field adds additional geometric structure to the congruence
3. add good citations at the end (original paper by Bel, MTW, plus some useful eprints on arXiv) in standard WikiProject GTR format

[edit] Students beware

I created the original version of this article and had been monitoring it, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.

Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see User:Hillman/Archive.

I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions.

Good luck in your seach for information, regardless!---CH 22:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
