Misusing sage.manifolds?
Two misbehaviors are apparent in the following: 1) objects not displaying in declared default frame, and 2) unexpected zero after applying Laplace-Beltrami operator to a scalar function in one of the two charts/frames. Q: Am I setting up the charts and frames incorrectly? Q: Missing something else? (I have heavily elided the sagemath output.) Thank you.
