Some subtleties of Riemannian geometry

General Physics 2008-12-16 v2

Abstract

It is shown, that the conventional presentation of the Maxwell equations for the electromagnetic field in the Riemannian space-time appears to be problematic. The reason of hesitations is the fact, that a solution of the Maxwell equations in the space-time of Minkowski do not turn into solution of the Maxwell equations in the Riemannian space-time after replacement of Minkowskian world function σM\sigma_{M} by the world function σR\sigma_R of the Riemannian space-time in the solution.
