The injectivity radius either coincides with that of souls or is not less than $ \\pi K^{-1/2} $, where $ K $ is an upper curvature bound. We give an introduction to the theory of the soul of Alexandrov spaces and compare two injectivity radii.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-10-05T08:03:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C20", "53C23", "53C45" ], "keywords": [ "injectivity radius", "alexandrov spaces", "sharp lower bound", "upper curvature bound", "noncompact nonnegatively curved riemannian manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
