Gaussian curvature has no tangential-contact comparison principle

ID: gaussian-curvature-has-no-tangential-contact-comparison-principle

The same contact does not order Gaussian curvature, because determinant is not monotone under addition of a positive-semidefinite matrix when the original Hessian is indefinite or negative definite. For example,
satisfy and are tangent at zero, but .
