General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Title: A brief introduction to non-regular spacetime geometry

Abstract: We give a brief non-technical introduction to non-regular spacetime geometry. In particular, we discuss how curvature, and hence gravity, can be defined without a smooth (differential geometric) calculus.
