31Riemannian manifold — In Riemannian geometry, a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) (with Riemannian metric g ) is a real differentiable manifold M in which each tangent space is equipped with an inner product g in a manner which varies smoothly from point to point. The… …

33Monodromy — In mathematics, monodromy is the study of how objects from mathematical analysis, algebraic topology and algebraic and differential geometry behave as they run round a singularity. As the name implies, the fundamental meaning of monodromy comes… …
34Exponential map — In differential geometry, the exponential map is a generalization of the ordinary exponential function of mathematical analysis to all differentiable manifolds with an affine connection. Two important special cases of this are the exponential map …
35Symplectomorphism — In mathematics, a symplectomorphism is an isomorphism in the category of symplectic manifolds. Formal definitionSpecifically, let ( M 1, omega;1) and ( M 2, omega;2) be symplectic manifolds. A map : f : M 1 rarr; M 2 is a symplectomorphism if it… …
36History of loop quantum gravity — General relativity is the theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915. According to it, the force of gravity is a manifestation of the local geometry of spacetime. Mathematically, the theory is modelled after Bernhard Riemann s… …
37Cartan decomposition — The Cartan decomposition is a decomposition of a semisimple Lie group or Lie algebra, which plays an important role in their structure theory and representation theory. It generalizes the polar decomposition of matrices. Cartan involutions on Lie …
38Jet (mathematics) — In mathematics, the jet is an operation which takes a differentiable function f and produces a polynomial, the truncated Taylor polynomial of f , at each point of its domain. Although this is the definition of a jet, the theory of jets regards… …
39Pushforward (differential) — Suppose that phi; : M → N is a smooth map between smooth manifolds; then the differential of phi; at a point x is, in some sense, the best linear approximation of phi; near x . It can be viewed as generalization of the total derivative of… …
