Riemann normal coordinate expansions using Cadabra
TL;DR: In this article, the results of using the computer algebra program Cadabra to develop Riemann normal coordinate expansions of the metric and other geometrical quantities, in particular the geodesic arc length, are given to sixth order in the curvature tensor.

General transformation formulas for Fermi–Walker coordinates
David Klein,Peter Collas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the transformation and inverse transformation in the form of Taylor expansions from arbitrary coordinates to Fermi-Walker coordinates in tubular neighborhoods of arbitrary timelike paths for general spacetimes.
Riemann normal coordinates, smooth lattices and numerical relativity
TL;DR: In this article, a new lattice-based scheme for numerical relativity is presented, which uses the same data as would be used in the Regge calculus (e.g. a set of leg lengths on a simplicial lattice), but it differs significantly in the way that the field equations are computed.

Non-local non-linear sigma models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study non-local non-linear sigma models in arbitrary dimension, focusing on the scale invariant limit in which the scalar fields naturally have scaling dimension zero, so that the free propagator is logarithmic.

General relativity without coordinates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an approach to the theory of Riemannian manifolds which avoids the use of co-ordinates, by approximating curved spaces by higher-dimensional analogs of polyhedra.
