摘要
We analyze an upper bound on the curvature of a Riemannian manifold, using. "root Ric" curvature, which is in between a sectional curvature bound and a Ricci curvature bound. (A special case of root Ric curvature was previously discovered by Osserman and Sarnak for a different but related purpose.) We prove that our root Ric bound implies Gunther's inequality on the candle function of a manifold, thus bringing that inequality closer in form to the complementary inequality due to Bishop.
