Isotropic coordinates — In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres . There are several different types of coordinate chart which are adapted to this family of nested spheres; the best known is the… … Wikipedia
Symplectic manifold — In mathematics, a symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold, M, equipped with a closed nondegenerate differential 2 form, ω, called the symplectic form. The study of symplectic manifolds is called symplectic geometry or symplectic topology.… … Wikipedia
Almost complex manifold — In mathematics, an almost complex manifold is a smooth manifold equipped with smooth linear complex structure on each tangent space. The existence of this structure is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for a manifold to be a complex… … Wikipedia

Generalized complex structure — In the field of mathematics known as differential geometry, a generalized complex structure is a property of a differential manifold that includes as special cases a complex structure and a symplectic structure. Generalized complex structures… … Wikipedia
Spinor — In mathematics and physics, in particular in the theory of the orthogonal groups (such as the rotation or the Lorentz groups), spinors are elements of a complex vector space introduced to expand the notion of spatial vector. Unlike tensors, the… … Wikipedia
Ricci flow — In differential geometry, the Ricci flow is an intrinsic geometric flow a process which deforms the metric of a Riemannian manifold in this case in a manner formally analogous to the diffusion of heat, thereby smoothing out irregularities in the… … Wikipedia
Shape of the Universe — Edge of the Universe redirects here. For the Bee Gees song, see Edge of the Universe (song). The local geometry of the universe is determined by whether Omega is less than, equal to or greater than 1. From top to bottom: a spherical universe, a… … Wikipedia
Generalized flag variety — In mathematics, a generalized flag variety (or simply flag variety) is a homogeneous space whose points are flags in a finite dimensional vector space V over a field F. When F is the real or complex numbers, a generalized flag variety is a smooth … Wikipedia
Isotropy — is uniformity in all orientations; it is derived from the Greek iso (equal) and tropos (direction). Precise definitions depend on the subject area. Exceptions, or inequalities, are frequently indicated by the prefix an, hence anisotropy.… … Wikipedia
