Abstract: Given a compact Alexadrov $n$-space $Z$ with curvature curv $gekappa$, and let $f:ZoX$ be a distance non-increasing onto map to another Alexandrov $n$-space with curv $gekappa$. The relative volume rigidity conjecture says that if $X$ achieves the relative maximal volume i.e. $vol(Z)=vol(X)$, then $X$ is isometric to $Z/sim$, where $z,z^{\prime }inpartialZ$ and $zsim{z}^{\prime }$ if only if $f(z)=f(z^{\prime })$. We will partially verify this conjecture, and give a classification for compact Alexandrov $n$-spaces with relatively maximal volume. We will also give an elementary proof for a pointed version of Bishop-Gromov relative volume comparison with rigidity in Alexandrov geometry.
