We study collapsed manifolds with boundary, where we assume a lower sectional
curvature bound, two side bounds on the second fundamental forms of boundaries
and upper diameter bound. Our main concern is the case when inradii of manifolds
converge to zero. This is a typical case of collapsing manifolds with boundary. We
determine the limit spaces of inradius collapsed manifolds as Alexandrov spaces with
curvature uniformly bounded below. When the limit space has codimension one, we
completely determine the topology of inradius collapsed manifold in terms of singular
–bundles.
General inradius collapse to almost regular spaces are also characterized. In the
general case of unbounded diameters, we prove that the number of boundary
components of inradius collapsed manifolds is at most two, where the disconnected
boundary happens if and only if the manifold has a topological product
structure.
