Cartan connection — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a Cartan connection is a flexible generalization of the notion of an affine connection. It may also be regarded as a specialization of the general concept of a principal connection, in which the … Wikipedia
Einstein–Cartan theory — in theoretical physics extends general relativity to correctly handle spin angular momentum. As the master theory of classical physics general relativity has one known flaw: it cannot describe spin orbit coupling , i.e., exchange of intrinsic… … Wikipedia

DGP model — The DGP model is a model of gravity proposed by Gia Dvali, Gregory Gabadadze, and Massimo Porrati in 2000.[1] The model is popular among some model builders, but has resisted being embedded into string theory. The model assumes the existence of a … Wikipedia
Littelmann path model — In mathematics, the Littelmann path model is a combinatorial device due to Peter Littelmann for computing multiplicities without overcounting in the representation theory of symmetrisable Kac Moody algebras. Its most important application is to… … Wikipedia
Chiral model — In nuclear physics, the chiral model is a phenomenological model describing mesons in the chiral limit where the masses of the quarks go to zero (without mentioning quarks at all). It s a nonlinear sigma model with the principal homogeneous space … Wikipedia
Wess-Zumino-Witten model — In theoretical physics and mathematics, the Wess Zumino Witten (WZW) model, also called the Wess Zumino Novikov Witten model, is a simple model of conformal field theory whose solutions are realized by affine Kac Moody algebras. It is named after … Wikipedia

Affine connection — An affine connection on the sphere rolls the affine tangent plane from one point to another. As it does so, the point of contact traces out a curve in the plane: the development. In the branch of mathematics called differential geometry, an… … Wikipedia
Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… … Wikipedia
