Towards a derivation of the metric tensor in general relativity
One of the central tasks in differential geometry is to make precise the notion of length and angle on a smooth manifold. Unlike $\mathbb R^n$, a general manifold comes with no preferred inner product. The metric tensor is not something … Continue reading
