added information about the spaces of directions of a cone-manifold

added tag "curvature" (because "big list" was removed by an expert user)

improved formatting
Aug 12, 2017 at 8:33 comment added stefaNo I am sorry. I edited again by reformulating and by adding an example of answer to clarify better.

to clarify better: reformulated, added trivial example of answer
Aug 11, 2017 at 13:05 comment added Benoît Kloeckner I don't understand what "Let us assume that $\kappa=\kappa_{max}$ is the maximum possible" means. Also, I don't see how Fact 1 could hold for any $\mathcal{P}$, since having curvature bounded below by $1$ is stronger than having it bounded by $-1$: if the latter implies something, then certainly the former does. I must have misunderstood your question.

added tags 'reference request' and 'big list', rephrased, added motivations
Aug 8, 2017 at 20:29 comment added Igor Belegradek If you provide some motivation (i.e. why do you care), the question would be easier to answer.
Aug 8, 2017 at 17:35 comment added StefaNo And if I edit by adding the tag 'reference request', do you still vote for the closure? Sorry but I'm not an expert in metric geometry. If you know a book with some propositions answering my question, it would be greatly appreciated.

Aug 8, 2017 at 13:10 comment added Igor Belegradek The question is overly broad (many results in comparison geometry can serve as an answer). Voted to close.
Aug 8, 2017 at 12:18 comment added stefaNo Probably what you say is true for curvature bounds from above. For example, by doubling a geodesic hyperbolic triangle you get a simply connected (homeomorphic to $S^2$) Aleksandrov space with curvature bounded below that is not contractible.

added an optional hypothesis: cone-manifold case
Aug 8, 2017 at 8:04 comment added Dmitrii Korshunov By analogy with the Riemannian picture that would be natural to use another global result: namely Cartan-Hadamard theorem. So the property would be: the universal cover is contractable.
