Handling degenerate planes in pseudo-Riemannian geometry: impact on sectional curvature and comparison theorems
How should this situation be interpreted?
Why should there be any interpretation? The geometric intuition behind sectional curvature in the Riemannian setting is this: given a plane $\Pi$ in $T_pM$, ...
