Curvature of Riemannian manifolds

In mathematics, specifically differential geometry, the infinitesimal geometry of Riemannian manifolds with dimension greater than 2 is too complicated to be described by a single number at a given point. Riemann introduced an abstract and rigorous way to define curvature for these manifolds, now known as the Riemann curvature tensor. Similar notions have found applications everywhere in differential geometry. For a more elementary discussion see the article on curvature which discusses the curvature of curves and surfaces in 2 and 3 dimensions, as well as the differential geometry of surfaces. The curvature of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can be expressed in the same way with only slight modifications. (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

We are interested in obtaining Poincar ́e and log-Sobolev inequalities on domains in sub-Riemannian manifolds (equipped with their natural sub-Riemannian metric and volume measure). It is well-known that strictly sub-Riemannian manifolds do not satisfy any type of Curvature-Dimension condi
