Einstein’s theory of General Relativity tells us that Euclidean geometry is only an approximation to the real geometry of space-time. This geometry is constrained by Einstein’s field equation, but is otherwise not predetermined as in Newtonian physics. My research program deals with an analogous situation. It seeks to determine those spaces (of arbitrary dimension) which locally look like Euclidean space but for which the notion of lengths and angles (referred to as the

爱因斯坦的广义相对论告诉我们，欧几里德几何只是时空的真实的几何的近似。这种几何形状受到爱因斯坦场方程的约束，但不像牛顿物理学那样预先确定。 我的研究项目涉及类似的情况。它试图确定那些局部看起来像欧几里得空间的空间（任意维），但对于这些空间，长度和角度的概念（被称为
