Hyperbolization of cusps with convex boundary (Q309275)

For a metric \(m\) on a compact surface, following the definition of the paper under review, we say \(m\) is \(CBB(k)\) if every point has a neighborhood \(U\) such that any triangle contained in \(U\) is thicker than the comparison triangle in the model space of constant curvature \(k\). For many years, many people have contributed to the proof of the following statement. (Theorem 1.4 in the paper) Let \(m\) be a \(CBB(k)\) metric on a compact surface. Then \(m\) is isometric to a convex surface \(S\) in a Riemannian space of constant curvature \(k\). Moreover {\parindent=0.6cm\begin{itemize}\item[--] if \(m\) is a metric of curvature \(k\) with conical singularities of positive curvature, then \(S\) is polyhedral, \item[--] if \(m\) comes from a smooth Riemannian metric with curvature \(> k\), then \(S\) is smooth and strictly convex. \end{itemize}} In the paper under review, the authors prove that for every \(CBB(-1)\) metric \(m\) on the torus, there exists a hyperbolic cusp with convex boundary such that the induced metric on \(\partial C\) is isometric to \(m\), which is the last step to finish the above theorem.
