<p>Let $X^n$ be an Alexandrov space, and $f: X^n\to \mathbb R^k$ a regular map, does the level set necessary be an Alexandrov space?</p> <p>In my mind, the intrinsic metric on the level set is 'comparable' to the ambient metric, but is it necessary an Alexandrov space?</p>

<p>The answer is "no" even for regular semiconcave function $f:X\to\mathbb R$</p> <p>If $f:X\to \mathbb R$ is convex then it is a long-standing open problem.</p>
