Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann gave his classic lecture on curved space. Riemann was a 19th century mathematician from Germany. His landmark lecture included a workable definition of how someone ...

Riemannian geometry provides a foundational framework in which the intrinsic properties of smooth manifolds are studied through the lens of metric structures. At its core, this field is dedicated ...

Riemann recast the mathematical world’s view of algebra, geometry and various mathematical subfields — and set the stage for the 20th century’s understanding of space and time. Riemann’s ...

When Albert Einstein formulated his theory of gravity, he used mathematics known as pseudo-Riemannian differential geometry. We found in our research that pseudo-Riemannian geometry is not ...

Hamilton's Ricci flow is a (weakly parabolic) geometric evolution equation, which deforms a given Riemannian metric in its most natural direction. Over the last decades, it has been used to prove ...

Differential geometry I: Riemannian manifolds, geodesics, Levi-Civita-connection, Lemma of Gauß, Theorem of Hopf-Rinow, curvature tensor, first and second variation formula, Lemma of Synge, Theorem of ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...
