So I am reading this paper. The metric is Eq. (3.1) reads:
ds2=r2dτ2+n2dr2+[γij(v)+2rnc1−n(cosτk(1)ij(v)+sinτk(2)ij(v))]dvidvj
The definition of extrinsic curvature can be written as:
Kab=∇bna=∂bna+Γa bcnc
where Latin indices are running from 1 to d-1. My understanding tells me this is something standard, by which I mean extrinsic curvature is being defined on the hypersurface, hence it is d-1. Yet below Eq. (3.3), the paper calls for Kμν where greek indices are running 1 to d. However, later on above Eq. (4.6), the paper mentions Kab. Is this a typo? Also how does one calculate the normal vector n's? Specifically can anyone guide how to obtain Kττ=1/nϵ as mentioned below Eq. (3.3).
