A circular cylinder of radius has principal curvatures and , according to orientation. Hence and .
A circular cylinder of radius has induced metric locally equal to with . Its Riemann curvature tensor therefore vanishes, despite its nonzero extrinsic curvature. With outward unit normal and convention , its trace is and its principal curvatures are and zero. Its averaged mean curvature is . The angular identification changes global topology, not local flatness.
