In the present paper, we define a notion of good coverings of Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below, and prove that every Alexandrov space admits such a good covering and that it has the same homotopy type as the nerve of the good…

Suppose a sequence $M_j$ of Alexandrov spaces collapses to a space $X$ with only weak singularities. Yamaguchi constructed a map $f_j:M_j\to X$ called an almost Lipschitz submersion for large $j$. We prove that if $M_j$ has a uniform…

Let $M_j$ be a sequence of Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bound below collapsing to a compact Alexandrov space $X$ of dimension $k$. Suppose that all but finitely many points of $X$ are $(k,\delta)$-strained and that the…

This paper introduces proximal homotopic cycles, which lead to the main results in this paper, namely, extensions of the Mitsuishi-Yamaguchi Good Coverning Theorem with different forms of Tanaka good cover of an Alexandrov space equipped…

We introduce the notion of good coverings of metric spaces, and prove that if a metric space admits a good covering, then it has the same locally Lipschitz homotopy type as the nerve complex of the covering. As an application, we obtain a…

We summarize several results about the regular coverings and the fundamental groupoids of Alexandroff spaces. In particular, we show that the fundamental groupoid of an Alexandroff space $X$ is naturally isomorphic to the localization, at…

We prove that the extremal stratification of an Alexandrov space introduced by Perelman-Petrunin is a CS stratification in the sense of Siebenmann. We also show that every space of directions of an Alexandrov space without proper extremal…

We establish a quantitative version of the Lipschitz homotopy convergence introduced by Mitsuishi and Yamaguchi for a moduli space of compact Alexandrov spaces without collapsing. Along the way, we obtain a Lipschitz version of Petersen's…

In this paper we discuss an extension of Perelman's comparison for quadrangles. Among applications of this new comparison theorem, we study the equidistance evolution of hypersurfaces in Alexandrov spaces with non-negative curvature. We…

In this paper we introduce, by means of the category of exterior spaces and using a process that generalizes the Alexandroff compactification, an analogue notion of numerable covering of a space in the proper and exterior setting. An…

In the present paper, we consider the family of all compact Alexandrov spaces with curvature bound below having a definite upper diameter bound of a fixed dimension. We introduce the notion of essential coverings by contractible metric…

We study groups endowed with Alexandroff topologies and show that no non-discrete Alexandroff topology can turn a group into a topological group. This settles negatively the basic existence problem for Alexandroff topological groups.…

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 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 give a proof of the celebrated stability theorem of Perelman stating that for a noncollapsing sequence $X_i$ of Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below Gromov-Hausdorff converging to a compact Alexandrov space $X$, $X_i$ is…

We will simplify earlier proofs of Perelman's collapsing theorem for 3-manifolds given by Shioya-Yamaguchi and Morgan-Tian. Among other things, we use Perelman's critical point theory (e.g., multiple conic singularity theory and his…

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…

In this note we prove the Borel Conjecture for closed, irreducible and sufficiently collapsed three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces. We also pose several questions related to characterization of fundamental groups of three-dimensional…

The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit "hidden symmetry" from conformal Killing-Yano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike…

We define regular points of an extremal subset in an Alexandrov space and study their basic properties. We show that a neighborhood of a regular point in an extremal subset is almost isometric to an open subset in Euclidean space and that…
