Positive curvature refers to a geometric property of a space where the curvature at every point is greater than zero. This means that, in such spaces, triangles have angles that sum to more than 180 degrees, indicating that the space is locally 'bent' outward. Positive curvature is a fundamental aspect of certain types of manifolds, influencing their geometric and topological properties and deeply related to concepts like constant curvature and symmetric spaces.
congrats on reading the definition of positive curvature. now let's actually learn it.
