Talk:Differential geometry

where to put stuff?
Tosha suggests that this article is not the right place to talk about vectors as derivations or bundles and their sections. But it seems that there is nowhere with a sophsiticated discussion of vector fields. we need one. but where? - Lethe 00:10, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)


 * I simply think that good discussion vector fields sould be in vector field, but it is totally ok to mention it here. Tosha

"ring"
This claims that if an area preserving map of a ring twists each boundary component in opposite directions, then the map has at least two fixed points.

Umm, like a diamond ring? Why can't the word "cylindar" be used, if that's what is meant??

First figure
The caption for the first figure (as of Feb 1, 2016 it shows a hyperbolic triangle embedded in a hyperbolic plane) uses two terms which I think ought to be replaced: 1) it uses "plane" when the figure clearly is not a (euclidean) plane. While the modifier "hyperbolic" could be added, I suggest it would be better to substitute the word "surface" here. 2) it uses the word "immersed"; I've never seen that useage; the word suggests - to me - a depth that a surface does not possess. The better word is clearly "embedded". If the editors agree, please make the changes.216.96.79.179 (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Space-time or spacetime?
Einstein treats spacetime as an unseparable entity. So, it's spacetime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Koitus~nlwiki (talk • contribs) 20:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
