Curvature (mathematics) | Differential geometry of surfaces | Riemannian geometry

Constant curvature

In mathematics, constant curvature is a concept from differential geometry. Here, curvature refers to the sectional curvature of a space (more precisely a manifold) and is a single number determining its local geometry. The sectional curvature is said to be constant if it has the same value at every point and for every two-dimensional tangent plane at that point. For example, a sphere is a surface of constant positive curvature. (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

RICCI FLOW -- On the scalar curvature blow up conjecture in Ricci flow -- Richard Bamler

Richard Bamler lecture on the scalar curvature blow up conjecture in Ricci flow. Richard Bamler is a world expert at the University of Berkeley on the Ricci flow, and was a former student of professor Gang Tian (like myself). Perelman used the Ricci flow to solve Thurston's geometrization

Metrics of constant Chern scalar curvature and a Chern-Calabi flow

Speaker: Sisi Shen (Northwestern) Abstract: We discuss the existence problem of constant Chern scalar curvature metrics on a compact complex manifold. We prove a priori estimates for these metrics conditional on an upper bound on the entropy, extending a recent result by Chen-Cheng in the

The behavior of the Yamabe invariant, as defined in Bernd Ammann’s previous lecture, differs strangely in dimension 4 from what is seen in any other dimension. These peculiarities not only manifest themselves in the context of the usual scalar curvature, but also occur in connection with
