Abstract

A function, here called the curvature function, is defined and which is constructed explicitly from the type ( 0, 4) curvature tensor. Although such a function may be defined for any manifold admitting a metric, attention is here concentrated on this function on a spacetime. Some properties of this function are explored and compared with a previous discussion of it given by Petrov.
