In the study of Riemannian geometry in mathematics, a local isometry from one (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold to another is a map which pulls back the metric tensor on the second manifold to the metric tensor on the first. When such a map is also a diffeomorphism, such a map is called an isometry (or isometric isomorphism), and provides a notion of isomorphism ("sameness") in the category Rm of Riemannian manifolds. ==Definition== Let and be two (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds, and let be a diffeomorphism. Then is called an isometry (or isometric isomorphism) if : where denotes the pullback of the rank (0, 2) metric tensor by . Equivalently, in terms of the push-forward , we have that for any two vector fields on (i.e. sections of the tangent bundle ), : If is a local diffeomorphism such that , then is called a local isometry. 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「Isometry (Riemannian geometry)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
