Geometry and Physics

Einstein discovered the deep connection between geometry and physics as described in general relativity: one (curvature) is determined by the other (gravitation) and vice versa through Einstein's field equations, which are equations in (pseudo-) Riemannian geometry. At the Riemann Center, we study algebraic, analytic and differential geometric aspects of this connection as well as physical aspects, which are gravitation and field theory.
