    1 This ticket implements pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, i.e. real differentiable manifolds equipped with a metric tensor. Important subcases are of course Riemannian manifolds and Lorentzian manifolds. Taking into account that generic metric tensors are already implemented in Sage (see [http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/manifolds/sage/manifolds/differentiable/metric.html here]), this ticket introduces

    3 - the parent class `PseudoRiemannianManifold`, as a subclass of the existing class `DifferentiableManifold`
    4 - new methods `gradient` and `laplacian` for scalar fields
    5 - new methods `divergence`, `laplacian` for tensor fields
    6 - new methods `curl`, `dot_product`, `cross_product` and `norm` for vector fields
     3- the parent class `PseudoRiemannianManifold`, as a subclass of the existing class `DifferentiableManifold`, with the specific methods `metric` and `volume_form`
     4- new methods `gradient`, `laplacian` and `dalembertian` for scalar fields
     5- new methods `divergence`, `laplacian` and `dalembertian` for tensor fields
     6- new methods `curl`, `dot`, `cross` and `norm` for vector fields

    88For a greater generality, all these methods have an optional argument `metric`; if it is omitted, the metric of the underlying pseudo-Riemannian manifold is assumed. The follow-up ticket #24623 implements Euclidean spaces.
