The further fact that it is a differential 3-form valued in E asserts the full anti-symmetry in i, j, k and is directly verified from the above formula and the contextual assumption that s is a vector-valued differential 2-form, so that s α ij = −s α ji.
Differential geometry is also indispensable in the study of gravitational lensing and black holes. Differential forms are used in the study of electromagnetism. Differential geometry has applications to both Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Symplectic manifolds in particular can be used to study Hamiltonian systems.

In mathematics, specifically in differential geometry, isothermal coordinates on a Riemannian manifold are local coordinates where the metric is conformal to the Euclidean metric. This means that in isothermal coordinates, the Riemannian metric locally has the form = (+ +),
For example, for differential geometry, the top-level code is 53, and the second-level codes are: A for classical differential geometry; B for local differential geometry; C for global differential geometry; D for symplectic geometry and contact geometry; In addition, the special second-level code "-" is used for specific kinds of materials.
Stokes' theorem relates the integral of a differential (n − 1)-form ω over the boundary ∂M of an n-dimensional manifold M to the integral of dω (the exterior derivative of ω, and a differential n-form on M) over M itself: =.
The differential geometry of surfaces revolves around the study of geodesics. It is still an open question whether every Riemannian metric on a 2-dimensional local chart arises from an embedding in 3-dimensional Euclidean space: the theory of geodesics has been used to show this is true in the important case when the components of the metric ...
