Born coordinates — / ) are time like curves with fixed R .In relativistic physics, the Born coordinate chart is a coordinate chart for (part of) Minkowski spacetime, the flat spacetime of special relativity. It is often used to analyze the physical experience of… … Wikipedia
Regge calculus — In general relativity, Regge calculus is a formalism for producing simplicial approximations of spacetimes which are solutions to the Einstein field equation. The calculus was introduced by the Italian theoretician Tullio Regge in the early 1960s … Wikipedia
Rindler coordinates — In relativistic physics, the Rindler coordinate chart is an important and useful coordinate chart representing part of flat spacetime, also called the Minkowski vacuum. The Rindler chart was introduced by Wolfgang Rindler. The Rindler coordinate… … Wikipedia
Schwarzschild coordinates — In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres . In such a spacetime, a particularly important kind of coordinate chart is the Schwarzschild chart, a kind of polar spherical… … Wikipedia

Energy condition — In relativistic classical field theories of gravitation, particularly general relativity, an energy condition is one of various alternative conditions which can be applied to the matter content of the theory, when it is either not possible or… … Wikipedia
Congruence (general relativity) — In general relativity, a congruence (more properly, a congruence of curves) is the set of integral curves of a (nowhere vanishing) vector field in a four dimensional Lorentzian manifold which is interpreted physically as a model of spacetime.… … Wikipedia
