Metric signature — The signature of a metric tensor (or more generally a nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, thought of as quadratic form) is the number of positive and negative eigenvalues of the metric. That is, the corresponding real symmetric matrix is… … Wikipedia
Metric space — In mathematics, a metric space is a set where a notion of distance (called a metric) between elements of the set is defined. The metric space which most closely corresponds to our intuitive understanding of space is the 3 dimensional Euclidean… … Wikipedia
Metric tensor — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a metric tensor is a type of function defined on a manifold (such as a surface in space) which takes as input a pair of tangent vectors v and w and produces a real number (scalar) g(v,w) in a… … Wikipedia
Metric system — This article is about the metric system in general. For information about specific versions of the system, such as the International System of Units or the cgs system of units, see #Variants. For a generally accessible and less technical… … Wikipedia
Metric (mathematics) — In mathematics, a metric or distance function is a function which defines a distance between elements of a set. A set with a metric is called a metric space. A metric induces a topology on a set but not all topologies can be generated by a metric … Wikipedia
Metric tensor (general relativity) — This article is about metrics in general relativity. For a discussion of metrics in general, see metric tensor. Metric tensor of spacetime in general relativity written as a matrix. In general relativity, the metric tensor (or simply, the metric) … Wikipedia
Metric dimension — In mathematics, the term metric dimension has various meanings. The metric dimension of an undirected graph G is the minimum number of vertices in a subset S of G such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the… … Wikipedia
metric space — noun Any space whose elements are points, and between any two of which a non negative real number can be defined as the distance between the points; an example is Euclidean space … Wiktionary
Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric — FRW redirects here. For other uses, see FRW (disambiguation). Physical cosmology … Wikipedia
Kerr metric — In general relativity, the Kerr metric (or Kerr vacuum) describes the geometry of spacetime around a rotating massive body. According to this metric, such rotating bodies should exhibit frame dragging, an unusual prediction of general relativity; … Wikipedia
Kasner metric — The Kasner metric is an exact solution to Einstein s theory of general relativity. It describes an anisotropic universe without matter (i.e., it is a vacuum solution). It can be written in any spacetime dimension D>3 and has strong connections… … Wikipedia
