Metric-minimizing surfaces revisited

Anton Petrunin and Stephan Stadler

Geometry & Topology 23 (2019) 3111–3139
Abstract

A surface that does not admit a length nonincreasing deformation is called metric-minimizing. We show that metric-minimizing surfaces in CAT(0) spaces are locally CAT(0) with respect to their length metrics.
