Asymptotic curve — In the differential geometry of surfaces, an asymptotic curve is a curve always tangent to an asymptotic direction of the surface (where they exist). It is sometimes called an asymptotic line, although it need not be a line. An asymptotic… … Wikipedia
Weyl curvature hypothesis — The Weyl curvature hypothesis, which arises in the application of Albert Einstein s general theory of relativity to physical cosmology, was introduced by the British mathematician and theoretical physicist Sir Roger Penrose in an article in 1979… … Wikipedia
Geometric group theory — is an area in mathematics devoted to the study of finitely generated groups via exploring the connections between algebraic properties of such groups and topological and geometric properties of spaces on which these groups act (that is, when the… … Wikipedia
Hilbert's theorem (differential geometry) — In differential geometry, Hilbert s theorem (1901) states that there exists no complete regular surface S of constant negative Gaussian curvature K immersed in mathbb{R}^{3}. This theorem answers the question for the negative case of which… … Wikipedia
Hyperbolic geometry — Lines through a given point P and asymptotic to line R. A triangle immersed in a saddle shape plane (a hyperbolic paraboloid), as well as two diverging ultraparall … Wikipedia
Asymptotically flat spacetime — An asymptotically flat spacetime is a Lorentzian manifold in which, roughly speaking, the curvature vanishes at large distances from some region, so that at large distances, the geometry becomes indistinguishable from that of Minkowski… … Wikipedia
Dehn function — In the mathematical subject of geometric group theory, a Dehn function, named after Max Dehn, is an optimal function associated to a finite group presentation which bounds the area of a relation in that group (that is a freely reduced word in the … Wikipedia
Systolic geometry — In mathematics, systolic geometry is the study of systolic invariants of manifolds and polyhedra, as initially conceived by Charles Loewner, and developed by Mikhail Gromov and others, in its arithmetic, ergodic, and topological manifestations.… … Wikipedia
Alternatives to general relativity — are physical theories that attempt to describe the phenomena of gravitation in competition to Einstein s theory of general relativity.There have been many different attempts at constructing an ideal theory of gravity. These attempts can be split… … Wikipedia
Small cancellation theory — In the mathematical subject of group theory, small cancellation theory studies groups given by group presentations satisfying small cancellation conditions, that is where defining relations have small overlaps with each other. It turns out that… … Wikipedia
Systoles of surfaces — In mathematics, systolic inequalities for curves on surfaces were first studied by Charles Loewner in 1949 (unpublished; see remark at end of Pu s paper in 52). Given a closed surface, its systole, denoted sys, is defined to the least length of a … Wikipedia
