Schur's Theorem states that in a Riemannian manifold, if the sectional curvature is non-positive, then the manifold is geodesically complete. This theorem connects the properties of curvature to the global geometry of the manifold, implying that non-positive curvature prevents 'holes' in the manifold. Understanding this theorem is crucial for relating local curvature properties to broader geometric implications.
