On open flat sets in spaces with bipolar comparison

Differential Geometry 2018-08-07 v2

Abstract

We show that if a Riemannian manifold satisfies (3,3)-bipolar comparisons and has an open flat subset then it is flat. The same holds for a version of MTW where the perpendicularity is dropped. In particular we get that the (3,3)-bipolar comparison is strictly stronger than the Alexandrov comparison.
