Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric
metric properties of the spacetime based on Albert Einstein's metric tensor and field solution for the spacetime
comoving distance
measurement of distance in which the change due to the expansion of the universe is factored out
Penrose diagram
two-dimensional diagram that captures the causal relations between different points in spacetime
Rindler coordinates
coordinate system on a subset of Minkowski space adapted to a uniformly accelerating observer undergoing hyperbolic motion
Kruskal–Szekeres coordinates
coordinate system for the Schwarzschild geometry
Born coordinates
coordinates to capture characteristics of rotating frames of reference
Lemaître coordinates
particular set of coordinates for the Schwarzschild metric
Boyer–Lindquist coordinates
generalization of the coordinates used for the metric of a Schwarzschild black hole that can be used to express the metric of a Kerr black hole
Peres metric
Metric in relativity
Lemaître–Tolman metric
Lorentzian metric describing an isotropic, expanding, nonhomogenous universe
Gullstrand–Painlevé coordinates
coordinate system for the Schwarzschild metric such that the time coordinate is the proper time of a free-falling observer who starts from far away at zero velocity, and the spatial slices are flat
Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates
pair of coordinate systems for a Schwarzschild geometry, adapted to radial null geodesics
