Theorem 2 of Euclid's Phaenomena consists of four propositions with proofs for only three of them while the missing one is replaced by the remark "that this is the case has been shown elsewhere"; indeed theorem and proof are found as Theorem 10 in Autolycus's 'Rotating Sphere'.
The theorem is then a sort of topological form of the particle-wave equivalence of quantum mechanics, and the quest for 'truly' understanding these and analogous dualities has been one of the great motivating forces in the mathematics of the last fifty years.
It is nevertheless certain that the theorem on the sum of the three angles of the triangle should be considered one of those fundamental truths that are impossible to contest and that are an enduring example of mathematical certitude.

This theorem strongly resembles the Cartan-Hadamard Theorem of
Riemannian geometry because it uses local curvature conditions to draw powerful conclusions about the global geometry and topology of a space.

His famous theorem, that any compact real manifold is diffeomorphic to a component of a real-algebraic variety, was thought of by Nash as a possible result to fall back on if his work on game theory was not considered suitable for a doctoral thesis.
The statement of this theorem is an afterthought to a paper in which Jacobi responds to the published correction by Thomas Clausen (1842) of an earlier paper by Jacobi (1836).
Mercer's theorem about the uniform convergence of eigenfunction expansions for kernels of operators appears in his 1909 paper Functions of positive and negative types and their connection with the theory of integral equations published in the Philosophical Transactions.

An updated version of the proof of the latter theorem (in the smooth case) is presented in Chapter IV of the book.

 Finsler Geometry Is Just Riemannian Geometry without the Quadratic Restriction
Here the remarkable fact is that the same formula holds, with the sectional curvature in the Riemannian case replaced by the flag curvature in the general Finsler case.
As a consequence all the classical theorems, such as the Hadamard-Cartan theorem on manifolds of nonpositive curvature, the Bonnet-Myers theorem, the Synge theorem, the first comparison theorem of Rauch as well as the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem, extend to the Finsler setting.
The dimension of the space of all harmonic forms of degree $p$ is the $p$-th Betti number of the manifold.

Finsler versions of the Hopf-Rinow, Cartan-Hadamard and Bonnet theorems are proved.\par The second chapter is devoted to the geometry of complex Finsler metrics.
Finally, the Cartan connection and the Chern- Finsler connection are compared.\par In the third chapter there are brought together, in a unified form, the results and applications that motivated the work of the authors.
Finally, a characterization of strongly convex circular domains is given in terms of differential geometric properties of the Kobayashi metric.\par I recommend the book to everyone who appreciates the beauty of both real and complex Finsler geometry or who uses differential geometry for global approaches of certain problems of real and complex analysis.

There are also comparison theorems for volumes of tubular neighbourhoods of submanifolds (see [13], [16]).

 Atlas: Developability and nonpositive curvature by Andre Haefliger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Theorem Any groupoid of local isometries which is connected, Hausdorff, complete and of non-positive curvature is developable.
This means that such a groupoid is equivalent to the groupoid associated to an action of a group G on a complete simply-connected metric space [X\tilde] of non-positive curvature.
The proof is an adaptation of the proof of the Cartan-Hadamard theorem given by S. Alexander and R.L. Bishop.

Abstract: In this paper we study Banach--Finsler manifolds endowed with a spray which have seminegative curvature in the sense that the corresponding exponential function has a surjective expansive differential in every point.
In this context we generalize the classical theorem of Cartan--Hadamard, saying that the exponential function is a covering map.
Typical examples of symmetric Finsler manifolds with seminegative curvature are bounded symmetric domains and symmetric cones endowed with their natural Finsler structure which in general is not Riemannian.

The book begins with a careful treatment of the machinery of metrics, connections, and geodesics, and then introduces the Riemann curvature tensor, before moving on the submanifold theory, in order to give the curvature tensor a concrete quantitative interpretation.
The remainder of the text is devoted to proving the four most fundamental theorems relating curvature and topology: the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem, the Cartan-Hadamard Theorem, Bonnet's Theorem, and a special case of the Cartan-Ambrose- Hicks Theorem.
This unique volume will especially appeal to students by presenting a selective introduction to the main ides of the subject in an easily accessible way.

I have rewritten the sections on sprays, and I have given more examples of the use of Stokes' theorem.
I have also given many more references to the literature, all of this to broaden the perspective of the book, which I hope can be used among things for a general course leading into many directions.

It is well-known that this theorem does not extend to the class of all matroids.
Berwald and Cartan generalised different aspects of this connection to Finsler geometry and obtained two different connections which possessed the second property but not the first, while Chern's connection (which is identical with Rund's) has the first property but not the second.
We are introduced to the Finsler versions of well-known theorems from Riemannian geometry and finally we study the Riemannian manifold as a special case of the Finsler theory.

The motivation is Cauchy's residue theorem from complex analysis, but Lang "is basically concerned with real analysis in the plane." I found this the least exciting of the talks.
Then, as applications and examples, he discusses the Weierstrass approximation theorem, Fourier series, harmonic functions, Poisson families and solutions of the heat equation.
We start with Apollonius's theorem (though Lang doesn't call it that), define a Bruhat-Tits space, prove Serre's theorem that a subset has a circumcentre, leading to the Bruhat-Tits fixed point theorem.

Neumann will start with a new short proof of the toral decompositon theorem, then survey the current state of Thurston's geometrization conjecture, which says that the components of the toral decompositon of a three-manifold should be geometric.
One of the basic results in this area is a generalization of the Cartan--Hadamard Theorem: if a nonpositively curved space is complete and simply connected then it is contractible.
It follows that if a nonpositively curved space is compact, then it is an Eilenberg--MacLane space of type K(G,1) where G denotes its fundamental group.

In general, geometry determines some properties about the (global) shape of the space.
For instance, if a space has a non-positively curved geometry, after "unwrapping" the space we obtain another space that, unlike a doughnut, can be shrunk within itself to a single point (Cartan-Hadamard theorem).
This research project is oriented towards studying such relations on spaces with non-positive geometry: how the geometry (local data) determines the global shape (topology) and also how topology could determine the geometry.
