Congruence (general relativity) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Congruence (general relativity) In general relativity, a congruence (more properly, a congruence of curves) is the set of integral curves of a (nowhere vanishing) vector field in a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold which is interpreted physically as a model of spacetime. Often this manifold will be taken to be an exact or approximate solution to the Einstein field equation. ==Types of congruences==
Congruences generated by nowhere vanishing timelike, null, or spacelike vector fields are called ''timelike'', ''null'', or ''spacelike'' respectively. A congruence is called a ''geodesic congruence'' if the tangent vector field has vanishing covariant derivative, .
