  2. Riemann mapping theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_mapping_theorem

    In complex analysis, the Riemann mapping theorem states that if is a non-empty simply connected open subset of the complex number plane which is not all of , then there exists a biholomorphic mapping (i.e. a bijective holomorphic mapping whose inverse is also holomorphic) from onto the open unit disk

  3. Exponential map (Riemannian geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_map...

    The exponential map of the Earth as viewed from the north pole is the polar azimuthal equidistant projection in cartography. In Riemannian geometry, an exponential map is a map from a subset of a tangent space T p M of a Riemannian manifold (or pseudo-Riemannian manifold) M to M itself. The (pseudo) Riemannian metric determines a canonical ...

  4. Exponential map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_map

    exponential map (Riemannian geometry) for a manifold with a Riemannian metric, exponential map (Lie theory) from a Lie algebra to a Lie group, More generally, in a manifold with an affine connection, (), where is a geodesic with initial velocity X, is sometimes also called the exponential map. The above two are special cases of this with ...

  5. Riemannian manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_manifold

    A connected Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to be symmetric if for every point p of M there exists some isometry of the manifold with p as a fixed point and for which the negation of the differential at p is the identity map. Every Riemannian symmetric space is homogeneous, and consequently is geodesically complete and has constant scalar ...

  6. Gauss's lemma (Riemannian geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss's_lemma_(Riemannian...

    In Riemannian geometry, Gauss's lemma asserts that any sufficiently small sphere centered at a point in a Riemannian manifold is perpendicular to every geodesic through the point. More formally, let M be a Riemannian manifold, equipped with its Levi-Civita connection, and p a point of M. The exponential map is a mapping from the tangent space ...

    If is compact, it has a Riemannian metric invariant under left and right translations, then the Lie-theoretic exponential map for coincides with the exponential map of this Riemannian metric. For a general G {\displaystyle G} , there will not exist a Riemannian metric invariant under both left and right translations.

  8. Riemannian geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_geometry

    Riemannian geometry is the branch of differential geometry that studies Riemannian manifolds, defined as smooth manifolds with a Riemannian metric (an inner product on the tangent space at each point that varies smoothly from point to point). This gives, in particular, local notions of angle, length of curves, surface area and volume.

  9. Riemann surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_surface

    There are several equivalent definitions of a Riemann surface. A Riemann surface X is a connected complex manifold of complex dimension one. This means that X is a connected Hausdorff space that is endowed with an atlas of charts to the open unit disk of the complex plane: for every point x ∈ X there is a neighbourhood of x that is homeomorphic to the open unit disk of the complex plane, and ...
