This is a glossary of some terms used in Riemannian geometry and metric geometry — it doesn't cover the terminology of differential topology.
The following articles may also be useful; they either contain specialised vocabulary or provide more detailed expositions of the definitions given below.
See also:
- Glossary of general topology
- Glossary of differential geometry and topology
- List of differential geometry topics
Unless stated otherwise, letters X, Y, Z below denote metric spaces, M, N denote Riemannian manifolds, |xy| or | xy | X denotes the distance between points x and y in X. Italic word denotes a self-reference to this glossary.
A caveat: many terms in Riemannian and metric geometry, such as convex function, convex set and others, do not have exactly the same meaning as in general mathematical usage.

It would however solve another problem that i have: Small . convex. objects, that the shape-shrinker complains about, that it can't properly shrink them for the . convex radius. . Or is there a way to just put all those shapes into one big ...
