Hopf-Rinow theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
For a connected finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold, completeness of the Riemannian distance, geodesic completeness, and compactness of every closed bounded subset are equivalent. These conditions imply that any two points are joined by a minimizing geodesic. Pairwise existence of minimizing geodesics alone does not imply completeness: an open Euclidean ball is incomplete, yet the line segment between any two of its points stays in the ball and minimizes length.
Smooth plane quartic Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A smooth plane quartic is a smooth degree-four curve in and has genus three.
The smoothness condition excludes the singular degree-four curves considered in the general plane-quartic family.
