Abstract

The geometric properties of the tangent cone to Busemann non-positively curved G-space are studied in the paper. The authors consider the construction of the tangent cone as a basic tool for proving Busemann conjecture about the topological structure of G-spaces in the class of non-positively curved spaces.

Keywords

G-space, non-positive curvature, tangent cone, Busemann conjecture.
