In mathematics, a complete manifold (or geodesically complete manifold) is a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold for which every maximal (inextendible) geodesic is defined on . ==Examples== All compact Riemannian manifolds and all homogeneous manifolds are geodesically complete. Euclidean space , the spheres and the tori (with their natural Riemannian metrics) are all complete manifolds. A simple example of a non-complete manifold is given by the punctured plane (with its induced metric). Geodesics going to the origin cannot be defined on the entire real line. There exists non geodesically complete compact pseudo-Riemannian (but not Riemannian) manifolds. It is the case for example of the Clifton–Pohl torus. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geodesic manifold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
