Volume estimates for Alexandrov Spaces with convex boundaries

Abstract

In this note, we estimate the upper bound of volume of closed positively or nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space XX with strictly convex boundary. We also discuss the equality case. In particular, the Boundary Conjecture holds when the volume upper bound is achieved. Our theorem also can be applied to Riemannian manifolds with non-smooth boundary, which generalizes Heintze and Karcher's classical volume comparison theorem. Our main tool is the gradient flow of semi-concave functions.
