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…

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 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.…

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…

In this paper, we study a complete noncompact nonnegatively curved Alexandrov space $A$ with a soul $S$ of codimension two. We establish some structural results under additional regularity assumptions. As an application, we conclude that in…

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…

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,…

A compactum X is an `absolute cone' if, for each of its points x, the space X is homeomorphic to a cone with x corresponding to the cone point. In 1971, J. de Groot conjectured that each n-dimensional absolute cone is an n-cell. In this…

We classify positively curved Alexandrov spaces of dimension 4 with an isometric circle action up to equivariant homeomorphism, subject to a certain additional condition on the infinitesimal geometry near fixed points which we conjecture is…

Given two $n_i$-dimensional Alexandrov spaces $X_i$ of curvature $\ge 1$, the join of $X_1$ and $X_2$ is an $(n_1+n_2+1)$-dimensional Alexandrov space $X$ of curvature $\ge 1$, which contains $X_i$ as convex subsets such that their points…

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…

Given a compact Alexadrov $n$-space $Z$ with curvature curv $\ge \kappa$, and let $f: Z\to X$ be a distance non-increasing onto map to another Alexandrov $n$-space with curv $\ge \kappa$. The relative volume rigidity conjecture says that if…

J. Rosenberg's $\mathbb{S}^1$-stability conjecture states that a closed oriented manifold $X$ admits a positive scalar curvature metric iff $X\times \mathbb{S}^1$ admits a positive scalar curvature metric $h$. As pointed out by J. Rosenberg…

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…

In this paper we discuss the sufficient and necessary conditions for multiple Alexandrov spaces being glued to an Alexandrov space. We propose a Gluing Conjecture, which says that the finite gluing of Alexandrov spaces is an Alexandrov…

We show that the fundamental groups of smooth $4$-manifolds that admit geometric decompositions in the sense of Thurston have asymptotic dimension at most four, and equal to 4 when aspherical. We also show that closed $3$-manifold groups…

In this paper we give a new proof for an almost isometry theorem in Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below.

We show that any closed manifold with a metric of nonpositive curvature that admits either a single point rank condition or a single point curvature condition has positive simplicial volume. We use this to provide a differential geometric…

This is a survey paper on various results relates to the following theorem first proved by A.D. Alexandrov: \textit{Let $S$ be an analytic convex sphere-homeomorphic surface in $\mathbb R^3$ and let $k_1(\boldsymbol{x})\leqslant…

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…
