| Research Abstract |
Many of our results are concerned with Riemannian geometry and the geometry of submanifolds. Spaces of constant curvature, such as spheres and Euclidean spaces, are the main models and reference spaces. We have greatly changed the models to wider classes of metrics. The Alexandrov-Toponogov comparison theorems for geodesic triangles on complete manifolds with base point at 0, whose radial curvature is bounded below by that of a model surface with rotationally symmetric metric have been established. Complete hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature have also been investigated in details. The scaling limits of pointed complete open manifolds with asymptotically nonnegative radial curvature has been investigated.
