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

Generalization of Radon's theorem
In dimension 1, Radon's theorem says that for any 3 points on the real line, one of them belongs to the segment between the two others. This becomes false if one replaces the real line by the tripod ( …

Tverberg's theorem in CAT(0) spaces
No. Let $X$ be a tripod (three segments with one common endpoint), $d=1$, $r=2$ and $E$ the set of the 3 leaf points.

CAT(K) and Busemann
Answering a sensible question appeared in comments: If a geodesic space is Busemann and CAT(1), then it must be CAT(0).
Indeed, CAT(1) implies that the space has well-defined metric angles between ge …

Alexandrov geometry techniques for Finsler manifolds.
As Anton mentioned in a comment, a non-Riemannian Finsler manifold cannot be an Alexandrov space. If you found an opposite statement in our book, I would appreciate the page number where it appears (I …

Stability of midpoints in CAT(0) spaces
No, even if $X=\mathbb R^2$.
Let $A_1$ be (the convex hull of) 4 points with coordinates $(\pm 1,\pm 1)$. Then $m(A_1)=(0,0)$, as the 4 points are on the circle $S_1$ of radius $\sqrt 2$ centered at …

Details of Perelman's example about soul of Alexandrov space
No $X^5$ is not a cone over $CP^2$ and is not compact. The projection has nothing to do with the cone structure. In fact, it's better to forget about the cone structure altogether (until you ask what …

Is there Domain Invariance for Alexandrov spaces?
The discussion in the comments is getting too long, let me sum up the proof. This is community wiki; feel free to correct errors and fill in details.
Let $H^*$ denote the Alexander-Spanier cohomology …
