We establish a new algebraic characterization of sectional curvature bounds $\sec\geq k$ and $\sec\leq k$ using only curvature terms in the Weitzenb\"ock formulae for symmetric $p$-tensors. By introducing a symmetric analogue of the…

In this paper, we study the computation of curvatures at the singular points of algebraic curves and surfaces. The idea is to convert the problem to compute the curvatures of the corresponding regular parametric curves and surfaces, which…

In this article, we introduce the sectional curvature in contravariant warped product space $(M= M_{1}\times_{f_{1}}M_{2},\Pi,g^{f_{1}})$, where $\Pi=\Pi_1+\nu_{1}\Pi_2$). After that we find the sectional curvature of $M$ for which $M_{1}$…

We explore the notion of sectional number of a group homomorphism, leading to a generalization of the covering number of a group, and present several characterizations when the sectional number is finite, providing estimates for computing…
