On the Distributional Hessian of the Distance Function

Abstract

We describe the precise structure of the distributional Hessian of the distance function from a point of a Riemannian manifold. In doing this we also discuss some geometrical properties of the cutlocus of a point and we compare some different weak notions of Hessian and Laplacian.
