Pseudo-Riemannian manifold

Definition

A manifold $M$ together with a pseudo-Riemannian metric.

$\blacksquare$

They are, in some sense, metric spaces: we can measure lengths.

A particular case are the Riemannian manifolds.

We can compute volumes in a natural way, and therefore we have a distinguished volume form in it.

Interpretation as a Cartan geometry

It can be interpreted as a Cartan geometry.
