Alexandrov geometry studies non smooth analogues of Riemannian manifolds with curvature bounded from below or above. It includes spaces with curvature bounded below (briefly $\mathrm{CBB}[\kappa]$) and spaces with curvature bounded above (briefly $\mathrm{CAT}[\kappa]$).

Involution of 3-sphere

Suppose that a closed geodesic $\gamma$ is the fixed-point set of an isometric involution on $(\mathbb{S}^3,g)$. Assume that sectional curvature of $g$ is at least $1$. Is it true that $$\mathrm{leng …

Alexandrov's uniqueness theorem in Minkowski spacetime

Suppose $P$ is a convex polyhedron in $\mathbb{R}^{2,1}$. Each face of $P$ comes with induced metric tensor, if the face is space-like, then it is euclidean metric; every time-like face is isometric t …

Nested convex hulls in Hadamard manifold

Let $F$ be a finite set in a Hadamard manifold $H$, and $W\supset F$ is its neighborhood. Is it true that the closure of the convex hull of $F$ lies in the interior of the convex hull of $W$? Commen …

Nearby convex set in a nearby space

Let $K$ be a convex set in a CAT(0) space $X$. Suppose $X'$ is a CAT(0) space that is very close to $X$. Is there a convex set $K'\subset X'$ that is close to $K\subset X$? Two spaces $X$ and $X'$ a …

Harmonic maps are light

Assume $f\colon \mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{R}^2$ is a harmonic map and $x\notin f(\partial\mathbb{D})$. Is it true that $f^{-1}\{x\}$ is totally disconnected? I hope that the answer is yes. But actually I …

Generalized flag complex?

Assume we glue an $n$-dimensional simplicial complex $K$ from copies of an $n$-simplex $\Delta$ with fixed spherical metric. We may think that $\Delta$ has colored vertices and we glue so that the col …

Connecting Lemma in the Alexandrov's existence theorem.

At the moment I am polishing my lecture notes which in particular cover Alexandrov's existence theorem. Denote by $\mathbf{P}_k$ the space of isometry classes of polyhedral metrics on the $\mathbb S …

Minimizing geodesic on a convex surface

Let $\Sigma$ be a smooth convex surface in Euclidean 3-space and $\gamma$ be a unit speed minimizing geodesic in $\Sigma$. Assume that for some $a < b < c$, we have $$\gamma'(a)=\gamma'(b)=\gamma'(c) …

Convex hull in CAT(0)

Let $X$ be complete $\mathop{CAT}(0)$-space and $K\subset X$ be a compact subset. Is it true that convex hull of $K$ is compact? Comments: Convex hull of $K$ = intersection of all closed convex set …
