We give new and rather general gluing theorems for anti-self-dual (ASD) conformal structures, following the method suggested by Floer. The main result is a gluing theorem for pairs of conformally ASD manifolds `joined' across a common piece…

Alexandrov's Theorem states that every metric with the global topology and local geometry required of a convex polyhedron is in fact the intrinsic metric of a unique convex polyhedron. Recent work by Bobenko and Izmestiev describes a…

The aim of this thesis is to present the notion of spaces whose curvature is bounded above, and to give some of its application in the context of Combinatorial Algebra. The thesis is made of two parts, one of theoretic purpose, and the…

Here we have studied the ideas of g*-closed sets, g^tou -sets and Lamda*-closed sets and investigate some of their properties in the spaces of A. D. Alexandroff [1]. We have also studied few separation axioms like T-omega/4,T-3omega/8,…

In this paper, we discuss the basic properties of Alexandroff spaces. Several examples of Alexandroff spaces are given. We show how to construct new Alexandroff spaces from given ones. Finally, two invariants for compact Alexandroff spaces…

We develop the boundary theory of rough CAT(0) spaces, a class of spaces that contains both Gromov hyperbolic and CAT(0) spaces. The resulting theory generalizes the common features of the Gromov boundary of a Gromov hyperbolic space and…

In this note, we estimate the upper bound of volume of closed positively or nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space $X$ with strictly convex boundary. We also discuss the equality case. In particular, the Boundary Conjecture holds when the…

For an Alexandrov space (with curvature bounded below), we determine the maximal dimension of its isometry group and show that the space is isometric to a Riemannian manifold, provided the dimension of its isometry group is maximal. We also…

We prove that sufficiently collapsed, closed and irreducible three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces are modeled on one of the eight three-dimensional Thurston geometries. This extends a result of Shioya and Yamaguchi, originally formulated for…

In this short note we survey theorems and provide conjectures on gluing constructions under lower curvature bounds in smooth and non-smooth context. Focusing on synthetic lower Ricci curvature bounds we consider Riemannian manifolds,…

We prove that Alexandrov's conjecture relating the area and diameter of a convex surface holds for the surface of a general ellipsoid. This is a direct consequence of a more general result which estimates the deviation from the optimal…

We extend basic results in $3$-manifold topology to general three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces (or Alexandrov $3$-spaces for short), providing a unified framework for manifold and non-manifold spaces. We generalize the connected sum to…
