Aug 30, 2015 at 15:31 comment added Anton Petrunin @sva, yes, semiconcave functions on Alexandrov space have well defined Hessian almost everywhere (4.4 in math.psu.edu/petrunin/papers/alexandrov/Cstructure.pdf).
Aug 30, 2015 at 15:22 comment added asv Thanks very much for exhaustive answer! Your last sentence intrigued me. For convex functions there is Alexandrov's theorem that such a function almost everywhere has second derivative. Does it generalize to Alexandrov spaces? E.g. can one define the Riemann curvature tensor almost everywhere? (Should I formulate this in a separate question?)
