We present short proofs of all known topological properties of general Busemann GG-spaces (at present no other property is known for dimensions more than four). We prove that all small metric spheres in locally GG-homogeneous Busemann GG-spaces are homeomorphic and strongly topologically homogeneous. This is a key r…

We determine the asymptotic behaviour of extremal length along arbitrary Teichmüller rays. This allows us to calculate the endpoint in the Gardiner-Masur boundary of any Teichmüller ray.

In the first part Busemann concavity as non-negative curvature is introduced and a bi-Lipschitz splitting theorem is shown. Furthermore, if the Hausdorff measure of a Busemann concave space is non-trivial then the space is doubling and satisfies a Poincaré condition and the measure contraction property. Using a compari…
