Constant curvature — See also: Space form In mathematics, constant curvature in differential geometry is a concept most commonly applied to surfaces. For those the scalar curvature is a single number determining the local geometry, and its constancy has the obvious… … Wikipedia
Curvature — In mathematics, curvature refers to any of a number of loosely related concepts in different areas of geometry. Intuitively, curvature is the amount by which a geometric object deviates from being flat, or straight in the case of a line, but this … Wikipedia
Space form — In mathematics, a space form is a complete Riemannian manifold M of constant sectional curvature K . Reduction to generalized crystallographyIt is a theorem of Riemannian geometry that the universal cover of an n dimensional space form M^n with… … Wikipedia
Curvature of Riemannian manifolds — In mathematics, specifically differential geometry, the infinitesimal geometry of Riemannian manifolds with dimension at least 3 is too complicated to be described by a single number at a given point. Riemann introduced an abstract and rigorous… … Wikipedia
CAT(k) space — In mathematics, a CAT( k ) space is a specific type of metric space. Intuitively, triangles in a CAT( k ) space are slimmer than corresponding model triangles in a standard space of constant curvature k . In a CAT( k ) space, the curvature is… … Wikipedia
de Sitter space — In mathematics and physics, a de Sitter space is the analog in Minkowski space, or spacetime, of a sphere in ordinary, Euclidean space. The n dimensional de Sitter space , denoted dSn, is the Lorentzian manifold analog of an n sphere (with its… … Wikipedia
De Sitter space — In mathematics and physics, n dimensional De Sitter space, denoted dS n, is the Lorentzian analog of an n sphere (with its canonical Riemannian metric). It is a maximally symmetric, Lorentzian manifold with constant positive curvature, and is… … Wikipedia
Space weathering — is a blanket term used for a number of processes that act on any body exposed to the harsh space environment. Airless bodies (including the Moon, Mercury, the asteroids, comets, and some of the moons of other planets) incur many weathering… … Wikipedia

Ricci curvature — In differential geometry, the Ricci curvature tensor, named after Gregorio Ricci Curbastro, provides one way of measuring the degree to which the geometry determined by a given Riemannian metric might differ from that of ordinary Euclidean n… … Wikipedia
Sectional curvature — In Riemannian geometry, the sectional curvature is one of the ways to describe the curvature of Riemannian manifolds. The sectional curvature K(σp) depends on a two dimensional plane σp in the tangent space at p. It is the Gaussian curvature of… … Wikipedia
