Myers's theorem

Myers's theorem, also known as the Bonnet–Myers theorem, is a celebrated, fundamental theorem in the mathematical field of Riemannian geometry. It was discovered by Sumner Byron Myers in 1941. It asserts the following: Let be a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension whose Ricci curvature satisfies for some positive real number Then any two points of M can be joined by a geodesic segment of length at most In the special case of surfaces, this result was proved by Ossian Bonnet in 1855. For a surface, the Gauss, sectional, and Ricci curvatures are all the same, but Bonnet's proof easily generalizes to higher dimensions if one assumes a positive lower bound on the sectional curvature. Myers' key contribution was therefore to show that a Ricci lower bound is all that is needed to reach the same conclusion. (Wikipedia).

What is the max and min of a horizontal line on a closed interval

👉 Learn how to find the extreme values of a function using the extreme value theorem. The extreme values of a function are the points/intervals where the graph is decreasing, increasing, or has an inflection point. A theorem which guarantees the existence of the maximum and minimum points

T. Richard - Lower bounds on Ricci curvature, with a glimpse on limit spaces (Part 1)

The goal of these lectures is to introduce some fundamental tools in the study of manifolds with a lower bound on Ricci curvature. We will first state and prove the laplacian comparison theorem for manifolds with a lower bound on the Ricci curvature, and derive some important consequences

F. Baudoin - Uniform sub-Laplacian comparison theorems on Sasakian manifolds

We will discuss sharp estimates for the sub-Laplacian of a family of distances converging to the sub-Riemannian one. We will deduce results for the sub-Riemannian distance. Uniform measure contraction properties will also be discussed. This is joint work with Erlend Grong, Kazumasa Kuwada
