We prove that a simply-connected open Aleksandrov surface that satisfies a linear isoperimetric inequality is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov.

The aim of this paper is to show that there exists a weakly quasisymmetric homeomorphism $f:(X,d){\rightarrow}(Y,d^{\prime})$ between two locally compact non-complete metric spaces such that $f:(X,d_h){\rightarrow}(Y,d^{\prime}_h)$ is not quasi-isometric, where dh denotes the Gromov hyperbolic metric with respect to the metric d introduced by Ibragimov in 2011. This result shows that the answer to the related question asked by Ibragimov in 2013 is negative.

In this paper, we prove that there is no branch point in the Lorentz space (M, d) which is the limit space of a sequence {($M_{\alpha},d_{\alpha}$)} of compact globally hyperbolic interpolating spacetimes with $C^{\pm}_{\alpha}$-properties and curvature bounded below. Using this, we also obtain that every maximal timelike geodesic in the limit space (M, d) can be expressed as the limit curve of a sequence of maximal timelike geodesics in {($M_{\alpha},d_{\alpha}$)}. Finally, we show that the limit space (M, d) satisfies a timelike triangle comparison property which is analogous to the case of Alexandrov curvature bounds in length spaces.
