Linked via "mass-energy"
Differential geometry applies the techniques of calculus to geometric problems, focusing on smooth manifolds. A central object in this field is the curvature tensor, which quantifies how much a manifold deviates from being flat.
The Riemann curvature tensor $R^{\rho}_{\sigma\mu\nu}$ is fundamental. In general relativity, the structure of spacetime is described by the [metric tensor](/e…
