In §3.9, we encountered the flag curvature. As the name suggests, this quantity (denoted K) involves a location x ϵ M, a flagpole ℓ:= with y ϵ TxM, and a transverse edge V ϵ TxM. The precise formula is quite elegantly given by (3.9.3): $$K(\ell ,V): = \frac{{{V^i}({\ell ^j}{R_{jikl}}{\ell ^l}){V^k}}}{{g(\ell ,\ell )g(V,V) - {{[g(\ell ,V)]}^2}}} = \frac{{{V^i}{R_{ik}}{V^k}}}{{g(V,V) - {{[g(\ell ,V)]}^2}}}$$.
