In the study of Riemanniangeometry in mathematics , a local isometry from one Pseudo Riemannian manifold pseudo Riemannian manifold to another is a map which pullback differential geometry pulls back the metric tensor on the second manifold to the metric tensor on the first. When such a map is also a diffeomorphism , such a map is called an isometry or isometric isomorphism , and provides a notion of isomorphism sameness in the category theory category Rm of Riemannian manifolds. Definition Let math M, g math and math M , g math be two Riemannian manifolds, and let math f M to M math be a diffeomorphism. Then math f math is called an isometry or isometric isomorphism if math g f g , , math where math f g math denotes the pullback differential geometry pullback of the rank 0, 2 metric tensor math g math by math f math .

Image Sphere halve.png thumb right A great circle divides the sphere in two equal Sphere hemisphere s In metric space theory and Riemannian geometry , the Riemannian circle named after Bernhard Riemann is a great circle equipped with its great circle distance . In more detail, the term refers to the circle equipped with its intrinsic Riemannian metric of a compact 1 dimensional manifold of total length 2 , as opposed to the extrinsic metric obtained by restriction of the Euclidean metric to the unit circle in the Plane geometry plane . Thus, the distance between a pair of points is defined to be the length of the shorter of the two arcs into which the circle is partitioned by the two points. Properties The diameter of the Riemannian circle is , in contrast with the usual value of 2 for the Euclidean diameter of the unit circle. The inclusion of the Riemannian circle as the equator or any great circle of the 2 sphere of constant Gaussian curvature 1, is an isometric imbedding in the sense of metric spaces there is no isometric imbedding of the Riemannian circle in Hilbert space in this sense . Gromov s filling conjecture A long standing open problem, posed by Mikhail Gromov mathematician Mikhail Gromov , concerns the calculation of the filling area conjecture filling area of the Riemannian circle.

In differential geometry , a branch of mathematics , a Riemannian submersion is a Submersion mathematics submersion from one Riemannian manifold to another that respects the metrics, meaning that it is an orthogonal projection on tangent spaces. Let M , g and N , h be two Riemannian manifolds and math f M to N math a submersion.

For example, component wise multiplication on math S 3 subset C 2 math by the group of unit complex numbers yields the Hopf fibration . Properties The sectional curvature of the target space of a Riemannian submersion can be calculated from the curvature of the total space by O Neill s formula math K N X,Y K M tilde X, tilde Y tfrac34 tilde X, tilde Y top 2 math where math X,Y math are orthonormal vector fields on math N math , math tilde X, tilde Y math their horizontal lifts to math M math , math , math is the Lie brackets and math Z top math is the projection of the vector field math Z math to the vertical distribution .

Expert subject Mathematics date November 2008 Unreferenced date May 2010 In mathematics and physics , in particular differential geometry and general relativity , a warped geometry is a Riemannian manifold Riemannian or Lorentzian manifold whose metric tensor can be written in form math ds 2 , g ab y dy a dy b f y g ij x dx i dx j math Note that the geometry almost decomposes into a Cartesian product of the y geometry and the x geometry except that the x part is warped, i.e. it is rescaled by a scalar function of the other coordinates y . For this reason, the metric of a warped geometry is often called a warped product metric. Warped geometries are useful in that separation of variables can be used when solving partial differential equation s over them. Examples Warped geometries acquire their full meaning when we substitute the variable y for t, time and x, for s, space. Then the d y factor of the spatial dimension becomes the effect of time that in words of Einstein curves space . How it curves space will define one or other solution to a space time world. For that reason different models of space time use warped geometries. Many basic solutions of the Einstein field equations are warped geometries, for example the Schwarzschild solution and the Friedmann Lema tre Robertson Walker metric Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker models . Also, warped geometries are the key building block of Randall Sundrum models in particle physics .
