relation to worldsheet

[edit]

Is this the same as worldsheet? Can the two articles be effectively merged? If not, they probably need hatnotes disambiguating themselves from the other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.139.254.117 (talk) 17:35, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

necessary for the existence of a pseudo-Riemannian metric?

[edit]

In the article it is said, that paracompactness is necessary for the existence of a pseudo-Riemannian metric. Is that really true? Why can't there be a pseudo-Riemannian metric if the manifold is not paracompact? --129.13.187.218 (talk) 08:38, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
