Properties that only Lorentzian manifolds have

The reverse Cauchy-Schwarz inequality: for any two causal vectors (orientation in this `squared' formulation is not relevant) $v, w$ we have $$ \vert g(v,w)\vert^2\ge g(v,v) g(w,w) $$ is false in pseu …

Usage/Application of Raychaudhuri equation in Riemann geometry or pure maths

The Bochner identity is a special case of the Raychaudhuri equation, obtained when the vector field is of gradient type. Let $v$ be a vector field and let $a^\alpha=v^\alpha{}_{;\beta} v^\beta$ be its …
