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 $\mathrm{CAT}[\kappa]$).

Smoothability of compact Alexandrov surfaces with curvature bounded from below
Edit: Addressing Igor's comment I'd like to correct the references I gave. The correct reference for the exact argument I sketch should be the original book by Alexandrov "Intrinsic Geometry of Convex …

Alexandrov spaces of zero curvature
No, that's too much to ask for. If you take any convex cone in $\mathbb R^n$ (any such cone is both $CAT(0)$ and Alexandrov of $curv\ge 0$) then the tangent space at the origin is just the cone itself …

Isometric classification of 1-dimensional Alexandrov spaces
I don't think anyone bothered to write a formal proof down but this is indeed quite easy. Tangent spaces (which are always metric cones) can only be lines or half lines. From this it's immediate that …

gradient curve $\gamma$ defined on $(-T,0]$, can't be extended from $\gamma(-T)$?
The answer depends on your definition of semi-concave functions. If you only require them to be semi-concave on geodesics then an obvious example is given by $X$ equal to the closed unit ball in $\mat …
