Abstract

We classify positively curved Alexandrov spaces of dimension with an isometric circle action up to equivariant homeomorphism, subject to a certain additional condition on the infinitesimal geometry near fixed points which we conjecture is always satisfied.

As a corollary, we also classify positively curved Riemannian orbifolds of dimension with an isometric circle action.
