Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric
The Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW; /ˈfriːdmən ləˈmɛtrə ... /) metric is a metric based on the exact solution of Einstein's field equations of general relativity; it describes a homogeneous
Peres metric
In mathematical physics, the Peres metric is defined by the proper time for any arbitrary function f. If f is a harmonic function with respect to x and y, then the corresponding Peres metric satisfies
Weyl–Lewis–Papapetrou coordinates
In general relativity, the Weyl–Lewis–Papapetrou coordinates are a set of coordinates, used in the solutions to the vacuum region surrounding an axisymmetric distribution of mass–energy. They are name
Kasner metric
The Kasner metric (developed by and named for the American mathematician Edward Kasner in 1921) is an exact solution to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. It describes an anisotropic univ
Metric tensor
In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a metric tensor (or simply metric) is an additional structure on a manifold M (such as a surface) that allows defining distances and angles, just as
Metric signature
In mathematics, the signature (v, p, r) of a metric tensor g (or equivalently, a real quadratic form thought of as a real symmetric bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space) is the number (c
Kerr–Newman metric
The Kerr–Newman metric is the most general asymptotically flat, stationary solution of the Einstein–Maxwell equations in general relativity that describes the spacetime geometry in the region surround
Lemaître coordinates
Lemaître coordinates are a particular set of coordinates for the Schwarzschild metric—a spherically symmetric solution to the Einstein field equations in vacuum—introduced by Georges Lemaître in 1932.
Tensors in curvilinear coordinates
Curvilinear coordinates can be formulated in tensor calculus, with important applications in physics and engineering, particularly for describing transportation of physical quantities and deformation
Gödel metric
The Gödel metric, also known as the Gödel solution or Gödel universe, is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations in which the stress–energy tensor contains two terms, the first representing
Reissner–Nordström metric
In physics and astronomy, the Reissner–Nordström metric is a static solution to the Einstein–Maxwell field equations, which corresponds to the gravitational field of a charged, non-rotating, spherical
Hartle–Thorne metric
The Hartle–Thorne metric is a spacetime metric in general relativity that describes the exterior of a slowly and rigidly rotating, stationary and axially symmetric body. It is an approximate solution
Curvilinear coordinates
In geometry, curvilinear coordinates are a coordinate system for Euclidean space in which the coordinate lines may be curved. These coordinates may be derived from a set of Cartesian coordinates by us
Kerr metric
The Kerr metric or Kerr geometry describes the geometry of empty spacetime around a rotating uncharged axially symmetric black hole with a quasispherical event horizon. The Kerr metric is an exact sol
Lemaître–Tolman metric
In mathematical physics, the Lemaître–Tolman metric is the spherically symmetric dust solution of Einstein's field equations. It was first found by Georges Lemaître in 1933 and Richard Tolman in 1934
