Oct 29, 2023 at 0:47 comment added Moishe Kohan What metric do you put on $\Pi$? These submanifolds are hardly ever totally geodesic and, thus, will intersect geodesic segments in $X$ in disconnected subsets. I do not see how they can be possibly used to detect convexity in $X$ unless $X$ has constant curvature.

Oct 28, 2023 at 23:53 comment added Igor Belegradek So you are not asking for a characterization. It is one way: if each $\Pi\cap X$ is convex, then $X$ is convex.
Oct 28, 2023 at 23:33 comment added Mohammad Ghomi @IgorBelegradek: The question is whether $X$ is convex assuming that $\Pi\cap X$ is a convex subset of $\Pi$, for all planes $\Pi$ passing through some point $p$ of $M$. A subset of $\Pi$ (which itself is a Cartan-Hadamard space) is convex if every pair of points of $\Pi$ can be joined by a geodesic of $\Pi$ which lie in that set.
Oct 28, 2023 at 22:54 comment added Igor Belegradek Sorry, I still don't understand the proposed characterization.
Oct 28, 2023 at 22:06 comment added Mohammad Ghomi @IgorBelegradek: Thanks, I edited the question to clarify this point.

Oct 28, 2023 at 20:50 comment added Igor Belegradek Are you asking whether one can characterize convex subsets of Cartan-Hadamard manifold in terms of their two-dimensional "sections"? What is meant by a "section" in your question? As you say, in a general Cartan-Hadamard manifold there will be no 2-dimensional convex set whose relative interior contains a given point, so we cannot define a "section" as a 2-dimensional convex set.
