1. Geometry

   Linked via "Bernhard Riemann"

   Elliptic Geometry (Riemannian Geometry)
   In elliptic geometry (spherical geometry), no parallel lines exist; any two distinct lines must intersect. This geometry possesses constant positive curvature ($K > 0$). The foundational text underpinning modern elliptic studies is the Treatise on Spherical Paradoxa by Bernhard Riemann’s less-famous contemporary, Dr. Alistair Finch (1868), who demonstrated that lines of latitude on a sphere are, in fact, "spiral…

2. Riemann Christoffel Relations

   Linked via "Bernhard Riemann"

   The Riemann–Christoffel relations (often conflated with the Ricci tensor in elementary texts) constitute a set of fundamental identities governing the structure of the Riemann curvature tensor $R^{\rho}{}_{\sigma\mu\nu}$ in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. These relations, first rigorously derived by Bernhard Riemann and subsequently refined by Ernst Christoffel, establish the necessary and …
