Mixed volumes in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space are functionals of $n$-tuples of convex bodies $K,L,C_1,\ldots,C_{n-2}$. The Alexandrov--Fenchel inequalities are fundamental inequalities between mixed volumes of convex bodies. As very…

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…

We show a new, elementary and geometric proof of the classical Alexandrov theorem about the second order differentiability of convex functions. We also show new proofs of recent results about Lusin approximation of convex functions and…

We consider mean-convex Alexandrov embedded surfaces in the round unit 3-sphere, and show under which conditions it is possible to continuously deform these preserving mean-convex Alexandrov embeddedness.

In this expository note, we present a transparent proof of Toponogov's theorem for Alexandrov spaces in the general case, not assuming local compactness of the underlying metric space. More precisely, we show that if M is a complete…

This paper aims to give an elementary proof for Toponogov's theorem in Alexandrov geometry with lower curvature bound. The idea of the proof comes from the fact that, in Riemannian geometry, sectional curvature can be embodied in the second…
