Sharp sectional
curvature bounds and a new proof of the spectral theorem
Maxine Calle and Corey Dunn
Vol. 13 (2020), No. 3, 445–454

Abstract |
|
We algebraically compute all possible sectional curvature values for canonical algebraic curvature tensors and use this result to give a method for constructing general sectional curvature bounds. We use a well-known method to geometrically realize these results to produce a hypersurface with prescribed sectional curvatures at a point. By extending our methods, we give a relatively short proof of the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators on a finite-dimensional real vector space. |
