An “easy” solution to the Einstein equation (in free space) is the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution. The pdf bellow shows how one can use the diffgeom module in order to get the equations describing this solution.
One starts with the most general spherically symmetrical metric and by using Einstein equation

/ 23.07.2012Nice notebook. Are you going to include it in one of your pull requests?

/ 23.07.2012It should be in my latest open pull request. It is still a WIP, though, as it is not a self-contained PR.

/ 31.07.2012Can you share the ipython nb, assuming that is what I am seeing? Good to see examples, especially as WIP goes.

/ 12.12.2012In step 9 is missing the rest of the terminal input, so it is impossible to define diffgeom_simplify.

/ 12.12.2012The notebook is actually shipped in the example folder of sympy. Or you can get it here http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/sympy/sympy/master/examples/intermediate/schwarzschild.ipynb
The simplify filter itself is: diffgeom_simplify = lambda a: a.subs(zip(cs.coord_functions(), cs._dummies)).simplify().subs(zip(cs._dummies, cs.coord_functions()))
What it does is to substitute the fields with dummy symbols, simplify them and substitute the fields back.
