Alexandrov spaces are defined via axioms similar to those given by Euclid. The Alexandrov axioms replace certain equalities with inequalities. Depending on the signs of the inequalities, we obtain Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded…
Existence of solutions to the Lp Minkowski problem is proved for all p less than 0. For the cirtical case of p=-n, which is known as the centro-affine Minkowski problem, this paper contains the main result in [71] as a special case.
