Jul 18, 2023 at 18:58 comment added Justin_other_PhD @HenrikRüping Thanks a lot for the explanation of (1). For (2) by p product I mean $d_{X\times Y}((x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2))^p:= d_X(x_1,x_2)^p + d_Y(y_1,y_2)^p$ (for $1\le p<\infty$ and when $p=\infty$ one takes max). So $p=2$ is the usual product metric.
Jul 18, 2023 at 14:21 comment added HenrikRüping It turns out that this contruction makes sense, even if we start with more general spaces than Riemannian spheres. Usually taking $C_\kappa$ increeases the topological dimension by one, so I would not expect the first equation to hold in any sense. I dont know what a $p$-product is, so I cannot say anything about the second question.
Jul 18, 2023 at 14:19 comment added HenrikRüping But if we knew additionally the curvature $\kappa$, there is such a construction, namely $C_\kappa$.
Jul 18, 2023 at 14:18 comment added HenrikRüping I think the idea is that in all three model spaces spheres around points are isometric up to rescaling to the standard sphere. One way to see this is that the three spaces are the only simply connected Riemannian manifolds, where the isometry group acts transitively on the frame bundle. But this property passes to spheres around points. Now it would be nice, if we had a way to reconstruct the balls from the spheres. As we have already seen without knowing in which of the three spaces we are, this is impossbile (the spheres are in all 3 cases isometric).
