  2. Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal–Szekeres_coordinates

    The Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates also apply to space-time around a spherical object, but in that case do not give a description of space-time inside the radius of the object. Space-time in a region where a star is collapsing into a black hole is approximated by the Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates (or by the Schwarzschild coordinates). The ...

  3. Del in cylindrical and spherical coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_in_cylindrical_and...

    This article uses the standard notation ISO 80000-2, which supersedes ISO 31-11, for spherical coordinates (other sources may reverse the definitions of θ and φ): . The polar angle is denoted by [,]: it is the angle between the z-axis and the radial vector connecting the origin to the point in question.

  4. Kruskal's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal's_algorithm

    Kruskal's algorithm [1] finds a minimum spanning forest of an undirected edge-weighted graph. If the graph is connected , it finds a minimum spanning tree . It is a greedy algorithm that in each step adds to the forest the lowest-weight edge that will not form a cycle . [ 2 ]

  5. Conformally flat manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformally_flat_manifold

    In practice, the metric of the manifold has to be conformal to the flat metric , i.e., the geodesics maintain in all points of the angles by moving from one to the other, as well as keeping the null geodesics unchanged, [1] that means there exists a function () such that () = (), where () is known as the conformal factor and is a point on the ...

  6. Schwarzschild geodesics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_geodesics

    The constant tachyonic geodesic outside is not continued by a constant geodesic inside , but rather continues into a "parallel exterior region" (see Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates). Other tachyonic solutions can enter a black hole and re-exit into the parallel exterior region.

  7. Derivation of the Schwarzschild solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivation_of_the...

    Working in a coordinate chart with coordinates (,,,) labelled 1 to 4 respectively, we begin with the metric in its most general form (10 independent components, each of which is a smooth function of 4 variables). The solution is assumed to be spherically symmetric, static and vacuum.

  8. Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington–Finkelstein...

    The metric in Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates covers all of the extended Schwarzschild spacetime in a single coordinate system. Its chief disadvantage is that in those coordinates the metric depends on both the time and space coordinates.

  9. List of coordinate charts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_coordinate_charts

    Coordinate charts are mathematical objects of topological manifolds, and they have multiple applications in theoretical and applied mathematics. When a differentiable structure and a metric are defined, greater structure exists, and this allows the definition of constructs such as integration and geodesics .
