Abstract

In this paper we give a new proof (along the line of the original proof) for the almost isometry theorem in Alexandrov geometry with curvature bounded below in [1]. The motivation of the new proof is that we find that Lemma 9.11 in [1] is incorrect (see Example 1.3 below), while this lemma is a crucial step in the original proof.
