Title: Alexandrov spaces are CS sets
(Submitted on 22 Apr 2024)
Abstract: We prove that the extremal stratification of an Alexandrov space by Perelman-Petrunin is a CS stratification in the sense of Siebenmann. We also show that every space of directions of an Alexandrov space without proper extremal subsets is homeomorphic to a sphere. In the appendix we give an example of a primitive extremal subset of codimension 2 that is not an Alexandrov space with respect to the induced intrinsic metric.
