Abstract

Given two nin_i-dimensional Alexandrov spaces XiX_i of curvature 1\ge 1, the join of X1X_1 and X2X_2 is an (n1+n2+1)(n_1+n_2+1)-dimensional Alexandrov space XX of curvature 1\ge 1, which contains XiX_i as convex subsets such that their points are π2\frac \pi2 apart. If a group acts isometrically on a join that preserves XiX_i, then the orbit space is called quotient of join. We show that an nn-dimensional Alexandrov space XX with curvature 1\ge 1 is isometric to a finite quotient of join, if XX contains two compact convex subsets XiX_i without boundary such that X1X_1 and X2X_2 are at least π2\frac \pi2 apart and dim(X1)+dim(X2)=n1\dim(X_1)+\dim(X_2)=n-1.
