Abstract
We introduce and study a new curvature function for plane curves inspired by the weighted mean curvature of M. Gromov. We call it Pólya, being the difference between the usual curvature and the inner product of the normal vector field with the Pólya vector field of a given planar function f. We computed it for several examples, since the general problem of vanishing or constant values of this new curvature involves the general expression of f.
