Weyl tensor

名詞

(differential geometry) A measure of the curvature of spacetime (or, more generally, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold), differing from the Riemann tensor in that it does not convey information on how the volume of the body changes, but only how its shape is distorted by the tidal force.

日本語の意味

（微分幾何学）時空（または擬リーマン多様体）の曲率を示すテンソル。リーマンテンソルとは異なり、体積の変化ではなく物体の形状が潮汐力によってどのように歪むかを表す。

In vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations, the Weyl tensor encodes the tidal forces that distort freely falling bodies without changing their volume.

アインシュタイン方程式の真空解では、ワイルテンソルが自由落下する物体の体積を変えずに形状を歪める潮汐力を表す。
