curvature of cone over a cuboid bounded below?

As we know,if M is an Alexandrov space with sec>=1,then the cone over M has sec>=0.What if when M is a cuboid with side length r1,...,rn,dia(M)<=π,then the cuvature of the cone …

Is there a harmonic function on $M = R \times {}_{{e^{2t}}}N$

M is a warped product $M = R \times {}_{{e^{2t}}}N$.N is the spherical suspension over$R{P^2}$.N is an Alexandrov space but not a manifold.So is M.Is there a harmonic function on M …

Does convex set in Alexandrov space has positive reach?

Let $M$ be a metric space, $A$ a subset of $M$. The reach (defined by Federer) of $A$ in $M$ is the largest $r_0\ge 0$ such that if $x\in M$ and the $d(x, A)< r_0$, then $A$ con …

Alexandrov space where a Yau’s inequality that holds on Riemannian manifold fails

Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold,suppose there is a harmonic function f on M.It was first observed by Yau that$${\left| {{\nabla ^2}f} \right|^2} \ge \frac{n}{{n - 1}}{\left …

Why is the Bochner formula on an Alexandrov space worse than on a Riemannian manifold?

M is a Riemannian manifold with $$Ric \ge - (n - 1)$$,f is a harmonic function on M,let $$h = |\nabla f|$$.By choosing an orthonormal basis such that $$|\nabla f|{e_1} = \nabla f, …
