摘要：
本讲义基于多伦多大学Vitali Kapovitch教授的比较几何课程整理而成。讲义深入探讨了包括Rauch比较定理与Toponogov比较定理在内的多种比较定理，重点介绍其应用，例如Bishop-Gromov体积比较、距离函数临界点理论、直径球面定理，以及负曲率与非负曲率相关内容。此外，讲义还涵盖了Cheeger-Gromoll的灵魂定理、分裂定理与覆盖定理，以及Perelman对灵魂猜想的证明。最后，讲义介绍了Gromov-Hausdorff收敛、Alexandrov空间，以及Grove-Peterson的有限同伦型定理。
英文摘要：
This note is based on Professor Vitali Kapovitch's comparison geometry course at the University of Toronto. It delves into various comparison theorems, including those by Rauch and Toponogov, focusing on their applications, such as Bishop-Gromov volume comparison, critical point theory of distance functions, diameter sphere theorem, and negative and nonnegative curvature. Additionally, it covers the soul theorem, splitting theorem, and covering theorem by Cheeger-Gromoll, as well as Perelman's proof of the soul conjecture. Finally, the note introduces Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, Alexandrov Spaces, and the Finite Homotopy type theorem by Grove-Peterson.
