		In mathematics, in particular group representation theory, a group representation of the group G is called a trivial representation if (i) it is defined on a one-dimensional vector space V over a field K and (ii) all elements g of G act on V as the identity mapping.
		In mathematics, a manifold M is a type of space, characterized in one of two equivalent ways: near every point of the space, we have a coordinate system; or near every point, the environment is like that in Euclidean space of a given dimension.
		Mathematically LQG is local gauge theory of the self-dual subgroup of the complexified Lorentz group, which is related to the action of the Lorentz group on Weyl spinors commonly used in elementary particle physics.

	General covariance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This means, for example, that such laws take the same mathematical form regardless of whether they are expressed in an accelerating or non-accelerating reference frame.
		The term "general covariance" was first introduced by Albert Einstein to describe the property he sought to obtain in the theory of general relativity.
		Other physical theories such as electrodynamics and special relativity also have a generally covariant formulation, although their classical formulations involve a privileged time variable.

	Mathematics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The specific structures that are investigated by mathematicians often have their origin in the natural sciences, most commonly in physics, but mathematicians also define and investigate structures for reasons purely internal to mathematics, because the structures may provide, for instance, a unifying generalization for several subfields, or a helpful tool for common calculations.
		Mathematics is often abbreviated to math in North America and maths in other English-speaking countries.

		From 1913 to 1930 he held the chair of mathematics at the Technische Hochschule of Zurich.
		In 1928 and 1929 he was a visiting professor at Princeton University and in 1930 he became Hilbert's successor at Göttingen where he held the chair of mathematics.

		Mathematics is often defined as the study of certain topics, such as quantity, structure, space, and change.
		Mathematics plays a role in every culture, and mathematical concepts are widely thought to be universal across all cultures.
		In nearly every society, people use mathematics for accounting, for measuring land, for predicting astronomical events, for regulating human affairs through calendars, and for recreation—discovering and cataloging patterns for their beauty, without regard for practical application.

	The Big Question: Does the Universe Follow Mathematical Law?
		Because the whole point of science is to describe the universe without invoking the supernatural, the failure to explain rationally the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics," as the physicist Eugene Wigner once put it, is something of a scandal, an enormous gap in human understanding.
		Mathematics is, after all, a kind of language intimately involved with using numbers to order space.
		If mathematics is indeed universal and eternal, the theory goes, then the aliens would understand concepts like pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.

	geodesic
		In mathematics and specifically in differential geometry, a geodesic is a path that furnishes shortest paths between any points on it that are close enough together.
		In the theory of general relativity, particles travel along geodesics through space-time, and so their paths depend on the space-time's curvature.
		This curvature is in turn determined by the energy and mass distribution; this is the content of the Einstein equation.

		One of modern science’s most famous and controversial figures, Jerzy Plebański was the author of many intriguing discoveries in general relativity and quantum theory.
		Known for his exceptional analytic talents, explosive character, inexhaustible energy, and bohemian nights with brandy, coffee, and enormous amounts of cigarettes, he was dedicated to both science and art, producing innumerable handwritten articles — resembling monk’s calligraphy — as well as a collection of oil paintings.

	Bibliography Abstracts: Robert T Jantzen
		A single mathematical framework is introduced to discuss both the hypersurface and congruence approaches to splitting spacetime and to clarify their relationship to each other and to the invariant 4-geometry.
		This ``relativity of splitting formalisms" for fully nonlinear gravitational theory has been tagged with the name ``gravitoelectromagnetism" because of the well known analogy between its linearization and electromagnetism, and it allows relationships between the various approaches to be better understood and makes it easier to extrapolate familiarity with one approach to the others.

	IMA Hot Topics Workshop: Numerical Relativity
		The numerical solution of Einstein's equations of general relativity promises to become one of the most potent tools for for understanding the complex behavior of strong dynamical gravitational fields.
		The problems of numerical relativity share many features with other large scale problems of computational physics, and it is highly likely that lessons learned in fields such as computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and electromagnetics will help advance numerical relativity.
		Main among these are the initial value problem of vacuum relativity, including the encoding as partial differential equations; discretization techniques for these equations; treatment of fl hole spacetimes; the imposition of boundary conditions; and the determination of physically relevant initial data.
