GENERAL RELATIVITY AND SECTIONAL CURVATURE

International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2006
A discussion is given of the sectional curvature function on a four-dimensional Lorentz manifold and, in particular, on the space–time of Einstein's general relativity theory. Its tight relationship to the metric tensor is demonstrated and some of its geometrical and algebraic properties evaluated.

Cross-sectional design with curvature constraints

Computer-Aided Design, 2005
A practical example of B-spline curve control points manipulation for the geometric construction of a free form shape is presented. Elements of a cross-sectional design methodology are used in conjunction with a skinning type operator for the definition of a B-spline surface.

Sectional Curvatures and Characteristic Classes

The Annals of Mathematics, 1964
We are concerned here with the relationship between the curvature properties of a riemannian manifold X and the global topological and differential invariants of X. An interesting result in this direction is Chern's theorem [6] that if X is compact, orientable, and has constant riemannian sectional curvature, then all Pontrjagin classes of X (with real

Negative ξ-sectional Curvature

2002
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce some special directions that belong to the contact subbundle of a contact metric manifold with negative sectional curvature for plane sections containing the characteristic vector field ξ or more generally when the operator h admits an eigenvalue greater than 1; these directions were introduced by the author ...
