Review text

An Aleksandrov space is a complete intrinsic metric space with curvature bounded below by some real number \(k\) in the sense of A. D. Aleksandrov. Several characterizations were given in [\textit{Yu. Burago}, \textit{M. Gromov} and \textit{G. Perel'man}, Russ. Math. Surv. 47, 1-58 (1992; Zbl 0802.53018)]. A certain connection between the conjugate points, closed geodesic arcs and the cut locus given in [\textit{S. Kobayashi}, in: Global Differential Geometry (MAA Studies in Mathematics 27), 140-169 (1989; Zbl 0683.53043)] on Riemannian manifolds is strengthened here in several directions and generalized to Aleksandrov spaces. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00066].
