Abstract

In this paper we discuss three results. The first two concern general sets of positive reach: We first characterize the reach by means of a bound on the metric distortion between the distance in the ambient Euclidean space and the set of positive reach. Secondly, we prove that the intersection of a ball with radius less than the reach with the set is geodesically convex, meaning that the shortest path between any two points in the intersection lies itself in the intersection. For our third result we focus on manifolds with positive reach and give a bound on the angle between tangent spaces at two different points in terms of the distance between the points and the reach.
