Abstract
We prove a Lipschitz-Volume rigidity theorem in Alexandrov geometry, that is, if a 1-Lipschitz map between Alexandrov spaces preserves volume, then it is a path isometry and an isometry when restricted to the interior of . We furthermore characterize the metric structure on with respect to when is also onto. This implies the converse of Petrunin's Gluing Theorem: if a gluing of two Alexandrov spaces via a bijection between their boundaries produces an Alexandrov space, then the bijection must be an isometry.
