Abstract

Solving a long-standing open question of Zamfirescu, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of Alexandrov spaces of bounded curvature, and show continuity properties for this notion.
