Riemannian geometry

is sometimes called

Elliptic geometry.

Page 3: Riemannian Geometry

It was first put forward

in generality by

Bernhard Riemann in

the nineteenth century.

Page 4: Riemannian Geometry

It deals with a broad

range of geometries

whose metric properties

vary from point to point.

Page 5: Riemannian Geometry

It is the branch of

differential geometry that

studies Riemannian

manifolds, smooth

bmanifolds with

a Riemannian metric.

Page 6: Riemannian Geometry

It is the study

of manifolds having a

complete Riemannian

metric.

Riemannian geometry is a general space based on the line element ds=F(x1,…,xn; d x1,…, d xn), with F(x,y)>0 for y≠0 a function on the tangent bundle TM. In addition, F is homogeneous of degree 1 in y and of the formF2= gij(x)d xi d xj

General theorems

Gauss–Bonnet theorem It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss who was aware of a version of the theorem but never published it, and Pierre Ossian Bonnet who published a special case in 1848.

also called fundamental

theorems of Riemannian

The development of the 20th century has turned Riemannian geometry into one of the most important parts of modern mathematics.
