You parallel-transport a contravariant vector A" around the circle r = 6GM, 

You parallel-transport a contravariant vector A" around the circle r = 6GM, 0 = /2 in the Schwarzschild geometry (see the preceding problem). If the vector initially has components A = (0, 1, 0, 0), what will be its components after it has been transported around the circle? Assume that the transport is instantaneous (dt = = 0).
