Description
The open-source Python-based computer algebra system SageMath [[1]] has some differential geometry and tensor calculus capabilities, which have been implemented through a community effort --- the SageManifolds project [[2]]. I shall briefly present the project and illustrate it by various examples relevant to relativistic gravity, among which the demonstration that the Poincaré horizon of AdS spacetime is a degenerate Killing horizon and the dynamics of a Nambu-Goto string in a 5-dimensional Kerr-AdS spacetime for the gauge-gravity duality approach of the quark-gluon plasma.
