Curves | Curvature (mathematics)

Total curvature

In mathematical study of the differential geometry of curves, the total curvature of an immersed plane curve is the integral of curvature along a curve taken with respect to arc length: The total curvature of a closed curve is always an integer multiple of 2π, called the index of the curve, or turning number – it is the winding number of the unit tangent vector about the origin, or equivalently the degree of the map to the unit circle assigning to each point of the curve, the unit velocity vector at that point. This map is similar to the Gauss map for surfaces. (Wikipedia).

Curvature for the general parabola | Differential Geometry 13 | NJ Wildberger

We now extend the discussion of curvature to a general parabola, not necessarily one of the form y=x^2. This involves first of all understanding that a parabola is defined projectively as a conic which is tangent to the line at infinity. We find the general projective 3x3 matrix for suc

Bobo Hua (7/27/22): Curvature conditions on graphs

Abstract: We will introduce various curvature notions on graphs, including combinatorial curvature for planar graphs, Bakry-Emery curvature, and Ollivier curvature. Under curvature conditions, we prove some analytic and geometric results for graphs with nonnegative curvature. This is based

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

AlgTop16: Rational curvature of polytopes and the Euler number

We show that the total curvature of a polyhedron is equal to its Euler number. This only works with the rational formulation of curvature, using an analog of the turn angle suitable for the 2 dimensional sphere. This important modification to the theory is original with this lecture series

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

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

Curvature formula, part 1

Curvature is computed by first finding a unit tangent vector function, then finding its derivative with respect to arc length. Here we start thinking about what that means.

Chao Li - Scalar curvature and the dihedral rigidity conjecture

In 2013, Gromov proposed a geometric comparison theorem for metrics with nonnegative scalar curvature, formulated in terms of the dihedral rigidity phenomenon for Riemannian polyhedrons. In this talk, I will discuss recent progress towards this conjecture, and its connection to other rigid
