- In mathematics,
curvature is any of
several strongly related concepts in
geometry that
intuitively measure the
amount by
which a
curve deviates from being...

defined primarily by its
curvature,
while the
global geometry is
characterised by its
topology (which
itself is
constrained by
curvature).

- In
differential geometry, the
radius of
curvature, R, is the
reciprocal of the
curvature. For a curve, it
equals the
radius of the
circular arc
which best...
- Additionally, the
radius can be
estimated from the
curvature of the
Earth at a point. Like a torus, the
curvature at a
point will be
greatest (tightest) in one...
- In
differential geometry, the
Ricci curvature tensor,
named after Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro, is a
geometric object which is
determined by a
choice of Riemannian...

Riemann curvature tensor of a

property of
space and time or four-dimensional spacetime. In particular, the

- geometry, the
