Pseudo-Riemannian manifold

In differential geometry, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold, also called a semi-Riemannian manifold, is a differentiable manifold with a metric tensor that is everywhere nondegenerate. This is a generalization of a Riemannian manifold in which the requirement of positive-definiteness is relaxed. Every tangent space of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is a pseudo-Euclidean vector space. A special case used in general relativity is a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold for modeling spacetime, where tangent vectors can be classified as timelike, null, and spacelike. (Wikipedia).

MATH331: Riemann Surfaces - part 1

We define what a Riemann Surface is. We show that PP^1 is a Riemann surface an then interpret our crazy looking conditions from a previous video about "holomorphicity at infinity" as coming from the definition of a Riemann Surface.

Curvature of a Riemannian Manifold | Riemannian Geometry

In this lecture, we define the exponential mapping, the Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci curvature tensor, and scalar curvature. The focus is on an intuitive explanation of the curvature tensors. The curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric is a very large stumbling block for many student

Andreas Bernig: Intrinsic volumes on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

The intrinsic volumes in Euclidean space can be defined via Steiner’s tube formula and were characterized by Hadwiger as the unique continuous, translation and rotation invariant valuations. By the Weyl principle, their extension to Riemannian manifolds behaves naturally under isometric em

Riemann Roch: plane curves

This talk is about some properties of plane curves used in the Riemann-Roch theorem. We first show that every nonsingular curve is isomorphic to a resolution of a plane curve with no singularities worse than ordinary double points (nodes). We then calculate the genus of plane curves with o

Julien Duval - Kobayashi pseudo-metrics, entire curves and hyperbolicity of algebraic varieties 2/2

An almost complex manifold is hyperbolic if it does not contain any entire curve. We start characterizing hyperbolic compact almost complex manifolds. These are the ones whose holomorphic discs satisfy a linear isoperimetric inequality. Then we prove the almost complex version of the Greee
