Review text

The author constructs a Morse theory and a singularity theory for the distance functions on a non-positively curved surface. Stable critical points and their indices are described by mean of a notion of Min-type function. It is proved that the set of non-positively curved metrics such that the distance function by a point is a Morse function, is open and dense in the space of non-positively curved metrics. Whenever such a function is not a Morse one, the set of its singularity is studied. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0870.00032].
