Planar subspaces are intrinsically CAT(0)

Abstract: Let

M_{k}

be the complete, simply connected, Riemannian 2-manifold of constant curvature

k l e 0

. Let

E

be a closed, simply connected subspace of

M_{k}

with the property that every two points in

E

is connected by a rectifiable path in

E

. We show that under the induced path metric,

E

is a complete CAT(

k

) space. We also show that the natural notions of angle coming from the intrinsic and extrinsic metrics coincide for all simple geodesic triangles.
