摘要
We prove that upper curvature bounds in the sense of Alexandrov can be improved locally by using appropriate conformal changes. As a new technical tool we derive a generalization to metric spaces and semi-convex functions of the classical differential geometric property that compositions of harmonic maps with convex functions are subharmonic.
