For any closed smooth Riemannian manifold H. Weyl has defined a sequence of numbers called today intrinsic volumes. They include volume, Euler characteristic, and integral of the scalar curvature. We conjecture that absolute values of all intrinsic volumes are bounded by a constant depending only on the dimension of the manifold, upper bound on its diameter, and lower bound on the sectional curvature. Furthermore we conjecture that intrinsic volumes can be defined for some (so called smoothable) Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below and state few of the expected properties of them, particularly the behavior under the Gromov-Hausdorff limits. We suggest conjectural compactifications of the space of smooth closed connected Riemannian manifolds with given upper bounds on dimension and diameter and a lower bound on sectional curvature to which the intrinsic volumes extend by continuity. We discuss also known cases of some of these conjectures.

In 1939 H. Weyl has introduced the so called intrinsic volumes $V_i(M^n), i=0,dots,n$, (known also as Lipschitz-Killing curvatures) for any closed smooth Riemannian manifold $M^n$. Given a Riemmanian submersion of compact smooth Riemannian manifolds
$Mto B$, $B$ is connected. For $varepsilon >0$ let us define a new Riemannian metric on $M$ by multiplying the original one by $varepsilon$ along the vertical directions and keeping it the same along the (orthogonal) horizontal directions. Denote the corresponding Riemannian manifold by $M_varepsilon$. The main result says that $lim_{varepsilonto +0} V_i(M_varepsilon)=chi(Z) V_i(B)$, where $chi(Z)$ is the Euler characteristic of a fiber of the submersion. This result is consistent with more general open conjectures on convergence of intrinsic volumes formulated previously by the author.
This chapter reviews some past and recent developments in shape comparison and analysis of curves based on the computation of intrinsic Riemannian metrics on the space of curves modulo shape-preserving transformations. We summarize the general constr
uction and theoretical properties of quotient elastic metrics for Euclidean as well as non-Euclidean curves before considering the special case of the square root velocity metric for which the expression of the resulting distance simplifies through a particular transformation. We then examine different numerical approaches that have been proposed to estimate such distances in practice and in particular to quotient out curve reparametrization in the resulting minimization problems.
In this paper we study the twistor space $Z$ of an oriented Riemannian four-manifold $M$ using the moving frame approach, focusing, in particular, on the Einstein, non-self-dual setting. We prove that any general first-order linear condition on the a
lmost complex structures of $Z$ forces the underlying manifold $M$ to be self-dual, also recovering most of the known related rigidity results. Thus, we are naturally lead to consider first-order quadratic conditions, showing that the Atiyah-Hitchin-Singer almost Hermitian twistor space of an Einstein four-manifold bears a resemblance, in a suitable sense, to a nearly Kahler manifold.
In this paper, we establish a Bochner type formula on Alexandrov spaces with Ricci curvature bounded below. Yaus gradient estimate for harmonic functions is also obtained on Alexandrov spaces.
In this paper, we introduce a new notion for lower bounds of Ricci curvature on Alexandrov spaces, and extend Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem and Chengs maximal diameter theorem to Alexandrov spaces under this Ricci curvature condition.
