Riemannian geometry | Differential geometry | Metric geometry
This is a glossary of some terms used in Riemannian geometry and metric geometry — it doesn't cover the terminology of differential topology. The following articles may also be useful; they either contain specialised vocabulary or provide more detailed expositions of the definitions given below. * Connection * Curvature * Metric space * Riemannian manifold See also: * Glossary of general topology * Glossary of differential geometry and topology * List of differential geometry topics Unless stated otherwise, letters X, Y, Z below denote metric spaces, M, N denote Riemannian manifolds, |xy| or denotes the distance between points x and y in X. Italic word denotes a self-reference to this glossary. A caveat: many terms in Riemannian and metric geometry, such as convex function, convex set and others, do not have exactly the same meaning as in general mathematical usage. (Wikipedia).
Curvature of a Riemannian Manifold | Riemannian Geometry
In this lecture, we define the exponential mapping, the Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci curvature tensor, and scalar curvature. The focus is on an intuitive explanation of the curvature tensors. The curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric is a very large stumbling block for many student

Riemann Sum Defined w/ 2 Limit of Sums Examples Calculus 1
I show how the Definition of Area of a Plane is a special case of the Riemann Sum. When finding the area of a plane bound by a function and an axis on a closed interval, the width of the partitions (probably rectangles) does not have to be equal. I work through two examples that are rela

Hyperbolic Geometry is Projective Relativistic Geometry (full lecture)
This is the full lecture of a seminar on a new way of thinking about Hyperbolic Geometry, basically viewing it as relativistic geometry projectivized, that I gave a few years ago at UNSW. We discuss three dimensional relativistic space and its quadratic/bilinear form, particularly the uppe

Metric space definition and examples. Welcome to the beautiful world of topology and analysis! In this video, I present the important concept of a metric space, and give 10 examples. The idea of a metric space is to generalize the concept of absolute values and distances to sets more gener

A. Mondino - Metric measure spaces satisfying Ricci curvature lower bounds 1
The idea of compactifying the space of Riemannian manifolds satisfying Ricci curvature lower bounds goes back to Gromov in the '80ies and was pushed by Cheeger-Colding in the ‘90ies, who investigated the structure of spaces arising as Gromov-Hausdorff limits of smooth Riemannian manifolds

Gerard Misiolek University of Notre Dame; Institute for Advanced Study October 19, 2011 In 1966 V. Arnold showed how solutions of the Euler equations of hydrodynamics can be viewed as geodesics in the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. This provided a motivation to study the geome
