His earlier approaches to Vivian had been rebuffed with the riposte that no one else had complained. Jowett replied that no one dependent on him ...

Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society

We study Einstein metrics on smooth compact 4-manifolds with an edge-cone singularity of specified cone angle along an embedded 2-manifold. To do so, we first derive modified versions of the Gauss–Bonnet and signature theorems for arbitrary Riemannian 4-manifolds with edge-cone singularities, and then show that these yield non-trivial obstructions in the Einstein case. We then use these integra...

This problem of hell is a specific form of the problem of evil.
