==Lorentzian manifold<!--'Lorentzian manifold' and 'Lorentzian metric' redirect here-->==
A '''Lorentzian manifold'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA--> is an important special case of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold in which the [[Metric signature|signature of the metric]] is (1, (-1)(n-1 occurrences) or (equivalently, (-1, 1(n-1 occurrences)) see ''[[Sign convention]]''). Such metrics are called '''Lorentzian metrics'''<!--boldface per WP:R#PLA-->. They are named after the Dutch physicist [[Hendrik Lorentz]].
