Abstract
© 2010, Birkhäuser, Springer Basel AG. This chapter is a brief summary of the main concepts and results about pseudo-Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds which will be widely used in the rest of the book. While the theory is presented from the beginning in a systematic way, some proofs have been omitted and others are simply hinted at. That is why the reading of this chapter assumes previous knowledge of the subject. We refer to [53] for further treatment.
