Let $X$ be an open (i.e. complete, non-compact and without boundary) Alexandrov $n$-space of nonnegative curvature with a soul $S$. In this paper, we will establish several structural results on $X$ that can be viewed as counterparts of…

A sharp lower bound for the injectivity radius in noncompact nonnegatively curved Riemannian manifolds involving their soul goes back to \v{S}arafutdinov. We generalize this bound to the setting of Alexandrov spaces. Our main theorem reads…

In this paper, we prove the Soul Conjecture in Alexandrov geometry in dimension $4$, i.e. if $X$ is a complete non-compact $4$-dimensional Alexandrov space of non-negative curvature and positive curvature around one point, then a soul of…

In this paper we describe the topology of 4-dimensional closed orientable Riemannian manifolds with a uniform lower bound of sectional curvature and with a uniform upper bound of diameter which collapse to metric spaces of lower dimensions.…

In this paper, we study the topology of topologically regular 4-dimensional open non-negatively curved Alexandrov spaces. These spaces occur naturally as the blow-up limits of compact Riemannian manifolds with lower curvature bound. These…

In this paper, we study open complete metric spaces with non-negative curvature. Among other things, we establish an extension of Perelman's soul theorem for possibly singular spaces: "Let X be a complete, non-compact, finite dimensional…

We obtain a structure theorem for closed, cohomogeneity one Alexandrov spaces and we classify closed, cohomogeneity one Alexandrov spaces in dimensions 3 and 4. As a corollary, we obtain the classification of closed, $n$-dimensional,…

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…

For each nonnegative integer we find an open (4m+9)-dimensional simply-connected manifold admitting complete nonnegatively curved metrics whose souls are non-diffeomorphic, homeomorphic, and have codimension 2. We give a diffeomorphism…

We prove a new rigidity result for an open manifold M with nonnegative sectional curvature whose soul S is odd-dimensional. Specifically, there exists a geodesic in S and a parallel vertical plane field along it with constant vertical…

We give examples of open manifolds that carry infinitely many complete metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature such that they all have the same soul, and their isometry classes lie in different connected components of the moduli space.…

Inspired by a recent work of Grove-Petersen in [GP18], where the authors studied Alexandrov spaces with largest possible boundary. We study Alexandrov spaces with lower curvature bound 1 and with small boundary. When the radius of X is…

We extend the structure theory of Burago--Gromov--Perelman for Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below, to the setting of Busemann spaces with non-negative curvature. We prove that any finite-dimensional Busemann space with…

We prove a reverse isoperimetric inequality for domains homeomorphic to a disc with the boundary of curvature bounded below lying in two-dimensional Alexandrov spaces of curvature $\geqslant c$. We also study the equality case.

We show that 3-dimensional polyhedral manifolds with nonnegative curvature in the sense of Alexandrov can be approximated by nonnegatively curved 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds.

Let V be an open manifold with complete nonnegatively curved metric such that the normal sphere bundle to a soul has no section. We prove that the souls of nearby nonnegatively curved metrics on V are smoothly close. Combining this result…

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 paper we consider nonnegatively curved finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces with a non-collapsing condition, i.e., such that unit balls have volumes uniformly bounded from below away from zero. We study the relation between the…

We study three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces with a lower curvature bound, focusing on extending three classical results on three-dimensional manifolds: First, we show that a closed three-dimensional Alexandrov space of positive curvature,…

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…
