Question on globally hyperbolic manifolds and coordinates
Consider a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold $(M,g)$. Then, a well-known result of Bernal-Sánchez (see Theorem 1.1 in arXiv:gr-qc/0401112) states that it can globally be written as
$$M=\mathbb{R}...

Some quantities which definitions are (somehow) similar to the classical Divergence
Motivated by classical formulas $L_{X}=d\circ i_{X}+i_{X}\circ d$ and $L_{X} \Omega=Div(X) \Omega$ and the essential role of the diff operator $d$ in definition of divergence, we define some ...
