The local structure of length spaces with curvature bounded above
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that a number of different notions of dimension coincide for length spaces with curvature bounded above. We then apply this result, showing that if X is a locally compact CAT (0) space with cocompact isometry group, then the dimension of the Tits boundary and the asymptotic cone(s) of X are determined by the maximal dimension of a flat in X .

Fixed points for total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a new version of bead space
The notion of a bead metric space is defined as a nice generalization of the uniformly convex normed space such as $CAT(0)$ space, where the curvature is bounded from above by zero. In fact, the bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces and normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. In this paper, w...
متن کاملON LOCAL BOUNDEDNESS OF I-TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES
The notion of generalized locally bounded $I$-topological vectorspaces is introduced. Some of their important properties arestudied. The relationship between this kind of spaces and thelocally bounded $I$-topological vector spaces introduced by Wu andFang [Boundedness and locally bounded fuzzy topological vectorspaces, Fuzzy Math. 5 (4) (1985) 87$-$94] is discussed. Moreover, wealso use the fam...
متن کاملRicci Curvature for Metric-measure Spaces via Optimal Transport
We define a notion of a measured length space X having nonnegative N -Ricci curvature, for N ∈ [1,∞), or having ∞-Ricci curvature bounded below by K, for K ∈ R. The definitions are in terms of the displacement convexity of certain functions on the associated Wasserstein metric space P2(X) of probability measures. We show that these properties are preserved under measured Gromov-Hausdorff limits...
متن کاملGauss Equation and Injectivity Radii for Subspaces in Spaces of Curvature Bounded Above
A Gauss Equation is proved for subspaces of Alexandrov spaces of curvature bounded above by K. That is, a subspace of extrinsic curvature ≤ A, defined by a cubic inequality on the difference of arc and chord, has intrinsic curvature ≤ K +A. Sharp bounds on injectivity radii of subspaces, new even in the Riemannian case, are derived.
متن کاملBarycenters in Alexandrov spaces of curvature bounded below
We investigate barycenters of probability measures on proper Alexandrov spaces of curvature bounded below, and show that they enjoy several properties relevant to or different from those in metric spaces of curvature bounded above. We prove the reverse variance inequality, and show that the push forward of a measure to the tangent cone at its barycenter has the flat support.
