3 The Normal Space Definition Normal and Geodesic Curvature Let M be a surface with normal vector n(p) at p M. The normal space to M at p is N p M = {λn(p) : λ R}. Note: it should be pictured as a line perpendicular to M at through p. The origin is p. MATH 2040 Normal and Geodesic Curvature December 20, / 12
4 The Normal Space Definition Normal and Geodesic Curvature Let M be a surface with normal vector n(p) at p M. The normal space to M at p is N p M = {λn(p) : λ R}. Note: it should be pictured as a line perpendicular to M at through p. The origin is p. The set of vectors at p decomposes into a pair of in T p M and N p M: R 3 = T p M N p M. In other words, any vector v based at p can be written v = v tan + v norm where v tan T p M and v norm N p M. MATH 2040 Normal and Geodesic Curvature December 20, / 12
5 Normal and Geodesic Curvature Decomposition of acceleration of a curve Let γ(s) be a unit speed curve. Recall that n is normal to the surface. The intrinsic normal of γ is S = n T. MATH 2040 Normal and Geodesic Curvature December 20, / 12
6 Normal and Geodesic Curvature Decomposition of acceleration of a curve Let γ(s) be a unit speed curve. Recall that n is normal to the surface. The intrinsic normal of γ is S = n T. The acceleration vector γ (s) decomposes into normal and tangent components: γ (s) = X(s) + V(s) X(s) T γ(s) M, V(s) N γ(s) M. Fact: X(s) is parallel to S(γ(s)).

7 Normal and Geodesic Curvature Normal and geodesic curvatures Definition Let γ(s) be a unit speed curve in a surface M. The normal curvature of γ at s is κ n (s) = γ (s), n(γ(s)) and the geodesic curvature of γ at s is κ g (s) = γ (s), S(γ(s)). MATH 2040 Normal and Geodesic Curvature December 20, / 12
8 Normal and Geodesic Curvature Normal and geodesic curvatures Definition Let γ(s) be a unit speed curve in a surface M. The normal curvature of γ at s is κ n (s) = γ (s), n(γ(s)) and the geodesic curvature of γ at s is κ g (s) = γ (s), S(γ(s)). In this case we can always write γ (s) = κ(s)n(s) = κ n (s)n(γ(s)) + κ g (s)s(γ(s)). Notation: we sometimes shorten n(γ(s)) to n(s), etc. MATH 2040 Normal and Geodesic Curvature December 20, / 12
