As a corollary, we obtain the classification of closed, $n$-dimensional, cohomogeneity one Alexandrov spaces admitting an isometric $T^{n-1}$ action. In contrast to the 1- and 2-dimensional cases, where it is known that an Alexandrov space is a topological manifold, in dimension 3 the classification contains, in addition to the known cohomogeneity one manifolds, the spherical suspension of $RP^2$, which is not a manifold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-09-19T23:29:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C20", "57S25", "51M25" ], "keywords": [ "cohomogeneity", "structure theorem", "classification contains", "alexandrov spaces admitting", "topological manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0910.5207G" } } }
