A Convergence Theorem in the Geometry of Alexandrov Spaces
The fibration theorems in Riemannian geometry play an important role in the theory of convergence of Riemannian manifolds. In the present paper, we extend them to the Lipschitz submersion theorem for Alexandrov spaces, and discuss some applications. Résumé. Les théorèmes de fibration de la géométrie riemannienne jouent un rôle important dans la théorie de la convergence des variétés riemannienn...
متن کاملQuasigeodesics and Gradient Curves in Alexandrov Spaces
1. A comparison theorem for complete Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvatures ≥ k says that distance functions in such manifolds are more concave than in the model space Sk of constant curvature k. In other words, the restriction of any distance function distp to any geodesic γ (always parametrised by the arclength) satisfies a certain concavity condition (∗)k. For example, the condition ...
متن کاملDifferential Geometric Aspects of Alexandrov Spaces
We summarize the results on the differential geometric structure of Alexandrov spaces developed in [Otsu and Shioya 1994; Otsu 1995; Otsu and Tanoue a]. We discuss Riemannian and second differentiable structure and Jacobi fields on Alexandrov spaces of curvature bounded below or above.
متن کاملFirst variation formula in Wasserstein spaces over compact Alexandrov spaces
We extend results proven by the second author ([Oh]) for nonnegatively curved Alexandrov spaces to general compact Alexandrov spacesX with curvature bounded below: the gradient flow of a geodesically convex functional on the quadratic Wasserstein space (P(X),W2) satisfies the evolution variational inequality. Moreover, the gradient flow enjoys uniqueness and contractivity. These results are obt...
متن کاملA Splitting Theorem for Alexandrov Spaces
A classical result of Toponogov [12] states that if a complete Riemannian manifold M with nonnegative sectional curvature contains a straight line, thenM is isometric to the metric product of a nonnegatively curved manifold and a line. We then know that the Busemann function associated with the straight line is an affine function, namely, a function which is affine on each unit speed geodesic i...
