Toponogov's theorem

In the mathematical field of Riemannian geometry, Toponogov's theorem (named after Victor Andreevich Toponogov) is a triangle comparison theorem.It is one of a family of comparison theorems that quantify the assertion that a pair of geodesics emanating from a point p spread apart more slowly in a region of high curvature than they would in a region of low curvature. Let M be an m-dimensional Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature K satisfying Let pqr be a geodesic triangle, i.e. a triangle whose sides are geodesics, in M, such that the geodesic pq is minimal and if δ > 0, the length of the side pr is less than .Let p′q′r′ be a geodesic triangle in the model space Mδ, i.e. the simply connected space of constant curvature δ, such that the lengths of sides p′q′ and p′r′ are equal to that of pq and pr respectively and the angle at p′ is equal to that at p. Then When the sectional curvature is bounded from above, a corollary to the Rauch comparison theorem yields an analogous statement, but with the reverse inequality. (Wikipedia).

André JOYAL - 3/4 A crash course in topos theory : the big picture

I will sketch an overall picture of topos theory and of the theory of locales. It includes the notion of sheaf on a site, the notion of forcing topology, of geometric morphism and Giraud's theorem. A useful principle is that a topos is a commutative ring-like object. Every topos is a quoti

Mikhail Katz (7/14/20): Collapsing surfaces

The collapse of Riemannian manifolds M and more general metric spaces to a lower-dimensional space X in the presence of a uniform lower bound on the Alexandrov curvature is a much-studied subject where many open questions remain. We examine the case of surfaces M collapsing to circles or s

The notion topos is a prominent member of a family of notions which includes that of abelian category, of locally presentable category and of higher topos. We propose two new members: the notion of locus and that of para-topos. The category of pointed spaces and the category of spectra are
