<br/>In the special case of surfaces, this result was proved by Ossian Bonnet in 1855. For a surface, the  Gauss, sectional, and Ricci curvatures are all the same, but Bonnet's proof easily generalizes to higher dimensions if one assumes a positive lower bound on the  sectional curvature. Myers' key contribution was therefore to show that a Ricci lower bound is all that is needed to reach the same conclusion

Sa démonstration repose sur une utilisation classique de la formule de la variation seconde.
