Espace polonaisEn mathématiques, un espace métrisable à base dénombrable (ou séparable, cela revient au même pour un espace métrisable) est un espace polonais si sa topologie peut être définie par une distance qui en fait un espace complet. Tout espace compact métrisable, tout sous-espace fermé ou ouvert d'un espace polonais, tout produit dénombrable d'espaces polonais, tout espace de Banach séparable est un espace polonais. Cette terminologie a été introduite par le groupe Bourbaki, dans le volume sur la topologie générale de ses Éléments de mathématique.
Kerr metricThe Kerr metric or Kerr geometry describes the geometry of empty spacetime around a rotating uncharged axially symmetric black hole with a quasispherical event horizon. The Kerr metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity; these equations are highly non-linear, which makes exact solutions very difficult to find. The Kerr metric is a generalization to a rotating body of the Schwarzschild metric, discovered by Karl Schwarzschild in 1915, which described the geometry of spacetime around an uncharged, spherically symmetric, and non-rotating body.
Rindler coordinatesRindler coordinates are a coordinate system used in the context of special relativity to describe the hyperbolic acceleration of a uniformly accelerating reference frame in flat spacetime. In relativistic physics the coordinates of a hyperbolically accelerated reference frame constitute an important and useful coordinate chart representing part of flat Minkowski spacetime. In special relativity, a uniformly accelerating particle undergoes hyperbolic motion, for which a uniformly accelerating frame of reference in which it is at rest can be chosen as its proper reference frame.
Charged black holeA charged black hole is a black hole that possesses electric charge. Since the electromagnetic repulsion in compressing an electrically charged mass is dramatically greater than the gravitational attraction (by about 40 orders of magnitude), it is not expected that black holes with a significant electric charge will be formed in nature. The two types of charged black holes are Reissner–Nordström black holes (without spin) and Kerr–Newman black holes (with spin).
Space (mathematics)In mathematics, a space is a set (sometimes called a universe) with some added structure. While modern mathematics uses many types of spaces, such as Euclidean spaces, linear spaces, topological spaces, Hilbert spaces, or probability spaces, it does not define the notion of "space" itself. A space consists of selected mathematical objects that are treated as points, and selected relationships between these points. The nature of the points can vary widely: for example, the points can be elements of a set, functions on another space, or subspaces of another space.
Nicolas BourbakiNicolas Bourbaki est un mathématicien imaginaire, sous le nom duquel un groupe de mathématiciens francophones, formé en 1935 à Besse (aujourd'hui Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise) en Auvergne sous l'impulsion d'André Weil, a commencé à écrire et à éditer des textes mathématiques à la fin des . L'objectif premier était la rédaction d'un traité d'analyse. Le groupe s'est constitué en association, lAssociation des collaborateurs de Nicolas Bourbaki, le . Sa composition a évolué avec un renouvellement constant de générations.
