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, given a metric space $(Y,d)$ of curvature bounded from above in the sense of Alexandrov, and a positive Radon measure $\mu$ on $Y$ giving finite mass to bounded sets, the resulting metric measure space $(Y,d,\mu)$ is…

In this note we study certain sufficient conditions for a set of minimal klt pairs $(X,\Delta)$ with $\kappa(X,\Delta)=\dim(X)-1$ to be bounded.

We study closed three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces with a lower Ricci curvature bound in the $\mathsf{CD}^*(K,N)$ sense, focusing our attention on those with positive or nonnegative Ricci curvature. First, we show that a closed…

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 that if an Alexandrov space $X$ has an Alexandrov subspace $\bar \Omega$ of the same dimension disjoint from the boundary of $X$, then the topological boundary of $\bar \Omega$ coincides with its Alexandrov boundary. Similarly, if a…

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…

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.

We prove that iterated spaces of directions of a limit of a noncollapsing sequence of manifolds with lower curvature bound are topologically spheres. As an application we show that for any finite dimensional Alexandrov space $X^n$ with…

For an infinite cardinal $\kappa$ let $\ell_2(\kappa)$ be the linear hull of the standard othonormal base of the Hilbert space $\ell_2(\kappa)$ of density $\kappa$. We prove that a non-separable convex subset $X$ of density $\kappa$ in a…

We study branched covering spaces in several contexts, proving that under suitable circumstances the cover satisfies the same upper curvature bounds as the base space. The first context is of a branched cover of an arbitrary metric space…

In this paper we adapt work of Z.-D. Liu to prove a ball covering property for non-branching $\mathsf{CD}$ spaces with nonnegative curvature outside a compact set. As a consequence we obtain uniform bounds on the number of ends of such…

All spaces are assumed to be Tychonoff. Given a realcompact space $X$, we denote by $\mathsf{Exp}(X)$ the smallest infinite cardinal $\kappa$ such that $X$ is homeomorphic to a closed subspace of $\mathbb{R}^\kappa$. Our main result shows…

The Dehn function of a metric space measures the area necessary in order to fill a closed curve of controlled length by a disc. As a main result, we prove that a length space has curvature bounded above by $\kappa$ in the sense of…

For $\kappa$ a cardinal, a space $X=(X,\sT)$ is $\kappa$-{\it resolvable} if $X$ admits $\kappa$-many pairwise disjoint $\sT$-dense subsets; $(X,\sT)$ is {\it exactly} $\kappa$-{\it resolvable} if it is $\kappa$-resolvable but not…

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…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional Alexandrov space with curvature $\geq 1$, and let $\{q_1,\cdots,q_k\}$ be any $\frac\pi2$-separated subset in $M$ (i.e. the distance $|q_iq_j|\geq\frac{\pi}{2}$ for any $i\neq j$). Under the additional…

We show that on every ${\sf RCD}$ spaces it is possible to introduce, by a distributional-like approach, a Riemann curvature tensor. Since after the works of Petrunin and Zhang-Zhu we know that finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces are ${\sf…

We show that, in the sense of Baire category, most Alexandrov surfaces with curvature bounded below by $\kappa$ have no conical points. We use this result to prove that at most points of such surfaces, the lower and the upper Gaussian…

As a continuation of [MY], we determine the topologies of collapsing three-dimensional compact Alexandrov spaces with nonempty boundary.
