Alexandrov spaces are defined via axioms similar to those of the Euclid axioms but where certain equalities are replaced with inequalities. Depending on the signs of the inequalities, we obtain Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded above (CBA) and curvature bounded below (CBB). Even though the definitions of the two classes of spaces are similar, their properties and known applications are quite different.The goal of this book is to give a comprehensive exposition of the structure theory of Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded above and below. It includes all the basic material as well as selected topics inspired by considering Alexandrov spaces with CBA and with CBB simultaneously. The book also includes an extensive problem list with solutions indicated for every problem.

Aimed toward graduate students and research mathematicians, with minimal prerequisites this book provides a fresh take on Alexandrov geometry and explains the importance of CAT(0) geometry in geometric group theory. Beginning with an overview of fundamentals, definitions, and conventions, this book quickly moves forward to discuss the Reshetnyak gluing theorem and applies it to the billiards problems. The Hadamard–Cartan globalization theorem is explored and applied to construct exotic aspherical manifolds.

This book serves as an introductory asset for learning metric geometry by delivering an in-depth examination of key constructions and providing an analysis of universal spaces, injective spaces, the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence, and ultralimits.

This volume discusses CAT(0) spaces – metric spaces with nonpositive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov – which may be viewed as a non-linear generalization of Hilbert spaces. The book showcases the beauty and power of Alexandrov geometry by reaching interesting applications and theorems with a minimum of preparation. This thoroughly revised and updated edition expands the 2019 SpringerBriefs in Mathematics volume. Drawing on extensive teaching experience, the authors have added two major topics, introduced numerous new exercises, corrected errors, simplified several proofs, and reorganized the material to better support teaching needs. The presentation is now more accessible and elementary.Primarily intended for graduate students and motivated undergraduates, the book includes numerous exercises ranging from routine to advanced, together with “semisolutions” and hints. It is well suited for self-study by advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers.From the reviews of the first edition:"In the preface of this book, the authors state a “Manifesto of Alexandrov geometry”, under the slogan “back to Euclid”: Alexandrov geometry may be viewed as a direct generalization of the axiomatic system of Euclid, with some of the equalities changed to inequalities. Indeed, metric geometry permits to formulate curvature bounds merely in terms of distance relations, e.g. via triangle comparison. This monograph is a brief and well crafted introduction into this highly active field. [...] Throughout the text there are numerous exercises of varying difficulty, as well as hints for the solutions in a separate section called “Semisolutions”. This book is a pleasure to read and is highly recommended as a concise and stimulating introduction to metric geometry."Monatshefte für Mathematik 2021
