      What is curvature? And why is it important?

      AbstractThe curvature tensor captures the essential geometry of a Riemannian manifold. Curvaturebounds have important geometric, analvtical and topoloaical conseauences, in tum. these can beused for axiomatic characterizations of curvature bounds and extended to general metric spaces.Problems of modemn data analysis lead to a new perspective on curvature that will bedeveloped in this lecture, a...
