Metric Curvature Revisited - A Brief Overview

Emil Saucan

Abstract

We survey metric curvatures, special accent being placed upon the Wald curvature, its relationship with Alexandov curvature, as well as its application in defining a metric Ricci curvature for $PL$ cell complexes and a metric Ricci flow for PL surfaces. In addition, a simple, metric way of defining curvature for metric measure spaces is proposed.
