This paper aims to give a further study on quasi-convex subsets in Alexandrov spaces with lower curvature bound which are introduced in [SSW]. We first provide new insights on quasi-convex subsets (Theorem A and Corollary C), and then as applications of them we explore more properties of quasi-convex subsets.
In this paper, we prove the Soul Conjecture in Alexandrov geometry in dimension $4$, i.e. if $X$ is a complete non-compact $4$-dimensional Alexandrov space of non-negative curvature and positive curvature around one point, then a soul of $X$ is a point.
In this paper we prove that in the class of metric measure spaces with Alexandrov curvature bounded from below the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition $RCD(K,N)$ with $K\in \mathbb{R}$ and $N\in [1,\infty)$ is preserved under doubling and gluing constructions.
We show that if an Alexandrov space $X$ has an Alexandrov subspace $\bar Ω$ of the same dimension disjoint from the boundary of $X$, then the topological boundary of $\bar Ω$ coincides with its Alexandrov boundary. Similarly, if a noncollapsed RCD(K,N) space $X$ has a noncollapsed RCD(K,N) subspace $\bar Ω$ disjoint from boundary of $X$ and with mild boundary condition, then the topological boundary of $\bar Ω$ coincides with its De Philippis-Gigli boundary. We then discuss some consequences about convexity of such type of equivalence.

In the present paper, we define a notion of good coverings of Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below, and prove that every Alexandrov space admits such a good covering and that it has the same homotopy type as the nerve of the good covering. We also prove the stability of the isomorphism classes of the nerves of good coverings in the non-collapsing case. In the proof, we need a version of Perelman's fibration theorem, which is also proved in this paper.
In this paper, we introduce quasi-convex subsets in Alxandrov spaces with lower curvature bound, which include not only all closed convex subsets without boundary but also all extremal subsets. Moreover, we explore several essential properties of such kind of subsets including a generalized Liberman theorem. It turns out that the quasi-convex subset is a nice and fundamental concept to illustrate the similarities and differences between Riemannian manifolds and Alxandrov spaces with lower curvature bound.
This paper aims to give an elementary proof for Toponogov's theorem in Alexandrov geometry with lower curvature bound. The idea of the proof comes from the fact that, in Riemannian geometry, sectional curvature can be embodied in the second variation formula.
Here I show compatibility of two definition of generalized curvature bounds --- the lower bound for sectional curvature in the sense of Alexandrov and lower bound for Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott--Villani--Sturm.
$SRA$-free spaces is a wide class of metric spaces including finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces of non-negative curvature, complete Berwald spaces of nonnegative flag curvature, Cayley Graphs of virtually abelian groups and doubling metric spaces of non-positive Busemann curvature with extendable geodesics. This class also includes arbitrary big balls in complete, locally compact $CAT(k)$-spaces $(k \in \mathbb R)$ with locally extendable geodesics, finite-dimensional Alexandrov spaces of curvature $\ge k$ with $k \in R$ and complete Finsler manifolds satisfying the doubling condition. We sh…
In this paper, we give a comparison version of Pythagorean Theorem to judge the lower or upper bound of the curvature of Alexandrov spaces (including Riemannian manifolds).
The Gauss curvature measure of a pointed Euclidean convex body is a measure on the unit sphere which extends the notion of Gauss curvature to non-smooth bodies. Alexandrov's problem consists in finding a convex body with given curvature measure. In Euclidean space, A.D. Alexandrov gave a necessary and sufficient condition on the measure for this problem to have a solution. In this paper, we address Alexandrov's problem for convex bodies in the hyperbolic space H m+1. After defining the Gauss curvature measure of an arbitrary hyperbolic convex body, we completely solve Alexandrov's problem in t…
We introduce a new geometric invariant called the obtuse constant of spaces with curvature bounded below. We first find relations between this invariant and the normalized volume. We also discuss the case of maximal obtuse constant equal to $π/2$, where we prove some rigidity for spaces. Although we consider Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below, the results are new even in the Riemannian case.
We obtain sharp lower bounds on the radii of inscribed balls for strictly convex isoperimetric domains lying in a 2-dimensional Alexandrov metric space of curvature bounded below. We also characterize the case when such bounds are attained.
For a general radially symmetric, non-increasing, non-negative kernel $h\in L ^ 1 _{loc} ( R ^ d)$, we study the rigidity of measurable sets in $R ^ d$ with constant nonlocal $h$-mean curvature. Under a suitable "improved integrability" assumption on $h$, we prove that these sets are finite unions of equal balls, as soon as they satisfy a natural nondegeneracy condition. Both the radius of the balls and their mutual distance can be controlled from below in terms of suitable parameters depending explicitly on the measure of the level sets of $h$. In the simplest, common case, in which $h$ is po…
We characterize Riemannian orbifolds with an upper curvature bound in the Alexandrov sense as reflectofolds, i.e. Riemannian orbifolds all of whose local groups are generated by reflections, with the same upper bound on the sectional curvature. Combined with a result by Lytchak--Thorbergsson this implies that a quotient of a Riemannian manifold by a closed group of isometries has locally bounded curvature (from above) in the Alexandrov sense if and only if it is a reflectofold.
