Angular distribution of diameters for spheres and rays for planes

Nobuhiro Innami and Yuya Uneme

Vol. 277 (2015), No. 1, 169–185
Abstract

Grove and Shiohama used the critical point theory of a distance function to prove the diameter sphere theorem. In light of the angular distribution of minimizing geodesics, we examine and develop the techniques in its proof to make some diameter sphere theorems and study complete noncompact manifolds, using a generalized Toponogov comparison theorem.
