Riemannian Geodesics,d of .., we describe two properties that determine a unique connection on any Riemannian manifold. The first property, compatibility with the metric, is easy to motivate and understand. The second, symmetry, is a bit more mysterious.

Geodesics and Distance,metry of the Riemannian connection. Later in the chapter, we study the property of geodesic completeness, which means that all maximal geodesies are defined for all time, and prove the Hopf-Rinow theorem, which states that a Riemannian manifold is geodesically complete if and only if it is complete as a metric space.

Curvature and Topology,These comparisons are based on a simple ODE comparison theorem due to Sturm, and show that if the curvature is bounded above by a constant, then the metric in normal coordinates is bounded below by the corresponding constant curvature metric.

CHOKE

Review of Tensors, Manifolds, and Vector Bundles,ause vector bundles are not always treated in beginning manifolds courses, we include a fairly complete discussion of them in this chapter. The chapter ends with an application of these ideas to tensor bundles on manifolds, which are vector bundles constructed from tensor spaces associated with the tangent space at each point.

Curvature,e. At the end of the chapter, we derive the basic symmetries of the curvature tensor, and introduce the Ricci and scalar curvatures. The results of this chapter apply essentially unchanged to pseudo-Riemannian metrics.

The Gauss-Bonnet Theorem,iant. Although it applies only in two dimensions, it has provided a model and an inspiration for innumerable local-global results in higher-dimensional geometry, some of which we will prove in Chapter 11.

From then on, all efforts are bent toward proving the four most fundamental theorems relating curvature and topology: the Gauss–Bonnet theorem (expressing the total curvature of a surface in term so fits topological type), the Cartan–Hadamard theorem (restricting the topolog
