A Note on Distributional Semi-Riemannian Geometry

Abstract

We discuss some basic concepts of semi-Riemannian geometry in low-regularity situations. In particular, we compare the settings of (linear) distributional geometry in the sense of L. Schwartz and nonlinear distributional geometry in the sense of J.F. Colombeau.
