    This sourceRigorous treatment defining curvature through the relativistic interpretation of tidal forces via geodesic deviation.

Domain-specific

• Cauchy surface
  • … \(t=0\) is met exactly once by every inextendible timelike curve and is a smooth spacelike Cauchy hypersurface. to A globally hyperbolic spacetime admits a smooth spacelike Cauchy hypersurface and a product splitting by a temporal function whose level sets are Cauchy hypersurfaces. demonstrates that continuity.
• D’Alembert Operator
  • The overall sign reverses under the opposite metric signature.
• Local reference frame
  • Curvature involves second-order or finite-separation effects and cannot generally be transformed away over an extended region.
