- This is a glossary of some terms used in Riemannian geometry and metric geometry — it doesn't cover the terminology of differential topology. The following articles may also be useful; they either contain specialised vocabulary or provide more detailed expositions of the definitions given below.
* Connection
* Curvature
* Metric space
* Riemannian manifold See also:
* Glossary of general topology
* Glossary of differential geometry and topology
* List of differential geometry topics Unless stated otherwise, letters X, Y, Z below denote metric spaces, M, N denote Riemannian manifolds, |xy| or denotes the distance between points x and y in X. Italic word denotes a self-reference to this glossary. A caveat: many terms in Riemannian and metric geometry, such as convex function, convex set and others, do not have exactly the same meaning as in general mathematical usage. (en)
- La géométrie riemannienne est un domaine des mathématiques étudiant les propriétés des variétés riemanniennes. Cette page rappelle brièvement les définitions des termes récurrents rencontrés. (fr)
