Two-dimensional metric spaces with curvature bounded above, I

Koichi Nagano, Takashi Shioya and Takao Yamaguchi

Geometry & Topology 28 (2024) 3023–3093
Abstract

We determine the local geometric structure of two-dimensional metric spaces with curvature bounded above as the union of finitely many properly embedded/branched immersed Lipschitz disks. As a result, we obtain a graph structure of the topological singular point set of such a singular surface.

Keywords
upper curvature bound, ruled surface, singular set
