Mean curvature

In mathematics, the mean curvature of a surface is an extrinsic measure of curvature that comes from differential geometry and that locally describes the curvature of an embedded surface in some ambient space such as Euclidean space. The concept was used by Sophie Germain in her work on elasticity theory. Jean Baptiste Marie Meusnier used it in 1776, in his studies of minimal surfaces. It is important in the analysis of minimal surfaces, which have mean curvature zero, and in the analysis of physical interfaces between fluids (such as soap films) which, for example, have constant mean curvature in static flows, by the Young-Laplace equation.

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

Yuguang Shi - Quasi-local mass and geometry of scalar curvature

Quasi-local mass is a basic notion in General Relativity. Geometrically, it can be regarded as a geometric quantity of a boundary of a 3-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. Usually, it is in terms of area and mean curvature of the boundary. It is interesting to see that some of quasi
