Curvature (mathematics) | Hyperbolic geometry | Metric geometry

Non-positive curvature

In mathematics, spaces of non-positive curvature occur in many contexts and form a generalization of hyperbolic geometry. In the category of Riemannian manifolds, one can consider the sectional curvature of the manifold and require that this curvature be everywhere less than or equal to zero. The notion of curvature extends to the category of geodesic metric spaces, where one can use comparison triangles to quantify the curvature of a space; in this context, non-positively curved spaces are known as (locally) CAT(0) spaces.

Calculus 3: Vector Calculus in 2D (35 of 39) What is the Sign of Curvature?

Visit http://ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures! In this video I will show how to identify what is the sign of a curvature. For example, when the angle is getting bigger K is greater than 0, and when the angle is getting smaller K is less than 0. Next video in the seri

M. Lesourd - Positive Scalar Curvature on Noncompact Manifolds and the Positive Mass Theorem (vt)

The study of positive scalar curvature on noncompact manifolds has seen significant progress in the last few years. A major role has been played by Gromov's results and conjectures, and in particular the idea to use surfaces of prescribed mean curvature (as opposed to minimal surfaces). Ha

2d curl nuance

The meaning of positive curl in a fluid flow can sometimes look a bit different from the clear cut rotation-around-a-point examples discussed in previous videos.

Bernhard Hanke - Surgery, bordism and scalar curvature

One of the most influential results in scalar curvature geometry, due to Gromov-Lawson and Schoen-Yau, is the construction of metrics with positive scalar curvature by surgery. Combined with powerful tools from geometric topology, this has strong implications for the classification of suc
