Equidistant sets on Alexandrov surfaces

Abstract

We examine properties of equidistant sets determined by nonempty disjoint compact subsets of a compact 2-dimensional Alexandrov space (of curvature bounded below). The work here generalizes many of the known results for equidistant sets determined by two distinct points on a compact Riemannian 2-manifold. Notably, we find that the equidistant set is always a finite simplicial 1-complex. These results are applied to answer an open question concerning the Hausdorff dimension of equidistant sets in the Euclidean plane.
