Download or read book An Invitation to Alexandrov Geometry written by Stephanie Alexander and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
