We study the existence of simple closed geodesics on most (in the sense of Baire category) Alexandrov surfaces with curvature bounded below, compact and without boundary. We show that it depends on both the curvature bound and the topology…
Denote by $\mathcal{A}(\kappa)$ the set of all compact Alexandrov surfaces with curvature bounded below by $\kappa$ without boundary, endowed with the topology induced by the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. We determine the connected components of…
We study global maxima of distance functions on most Alexandrov surfaces with curvature bounded below, where "most" is used in the sense of Baire categories.
We study the properties of $\text{CAT}(\kappa)$ surfaces: length metric spaces homeomorphic to a surface having curvature bounded above in the sense of satisfying the $\text{CAT}(\kappa)$ condition locally. The main facts about…
Solving a long-standing open question in convex geometry, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of…
In this paper, we investigate the equivalence of two distinct notions of curvature bounds on singular surfaces. The first notion involves inequalities of the form $\omega\geq\kappa\mu$ (resp. $\omega\leq\kappa\mu$) where $\omega$ is the…
We show that a capillary surface in a solid cone, that is, a surface that has constant mean curvature and the boundary of surface meets the boundary of the cone with a constant angle, is radially graphical if the mean curvature is…
In this paper we give a new proof for an almost isometry theorem in Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below.
We consider constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors in…
It is proved that a convex hypersurface in a Riemannian manifold of sectional curvature at least k is an Alexandrov's space of curvature at least k. This theorem provides an optimal lower curvature bound for an older theorem of Buyalo.
We study a class of compact surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ introduced by Alexandrov and generalized by Nirenberg and prove a compactness result under suitable assumptions on induced metrics and Gauss curvatures.
It is shown that convex hypersurfaces in Hilbert spaces have nonnegative Alexandrov curvature. This extends an earlier result of Buyalo for convex hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds of finite dimension.
This is the first paper of two ones. Here we prove that two compact Alexandrov surfaces of bounded integral curvature having no peak points are bi-Lipschitz equivalent if they are homeomorphic one to the other. Also conditions under that…
This paper is devoted to prove that if an Alexandrov space of curvature not less than $\kappa$ with a codimension one extremal subset which admits an isometric involution with respect to the induced length metric, then the metric space…
We give a new characterization of spaces with nonnegative curvature in the sense of Alexandrov.
We show that if a $CD(K,n)$ space $(X,d,f\mathcal{H}^n)$ with $n\geq 2$ has curvature bounded from above by $\kappa$ in the sense of Alexandrov then $f=const$.
We show that if a noncollapsed $CD(K,n)$ space $X$ with $n\ge 2$ has curvature bounded above by $\kappa$ in the sense of Alexandrov then $K\le (n-1)\kappa$ and $X$ is an Alexandrov space of curvature bounded below by $K-\kappa (n-2)$. We…
In this paper, we study extremal subsets in Alexandrov spaces with dimension $n$, curvature $\ge\kappa$, and diameter $\le D$. We show that the following three quantities are uniformly bounded above in terms of $n$, $\kappa$, and $D$: (1)…
We show the existence of a $2$-parameter family of properly Alexandrov-embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature $0\leq H\leq\frac{1}{2}$ in ${\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}}$. They are symmetric with respect to a horizontal slice and a…
We show that the typical nonexpansive mapping on a small enough subset of a CAT($\kappa$)-space is a contraction in the sense of Rakotch. By typical we mean that the set of nonexpansive mapppings without this property is a $\sigma$-porous…
