First sentence: A Lorentz manifold, or simply a spacetime, consists of a pair (M, g) where M is an orientable (n + 1)-dimensional manifold whose points correspond to physical events and g is a Lorentz metric defined on it, that is, a smooth, nondegenerate 2-covariant symmetric tensor field of signature (n, 1).
