On separators of the space of complete non-negatively curved metrics on the plane

Abstract

We shall prove that the Hilbert cube cannot be separated by a weakly infinite dimensional subset. As a corollary we obtain that the complement of a weakly infinite dimensional subset of the space of complete non negatively curved metrics is continuum connected. We can extend this result to the associated moduli space when the set removed is a Hausdorff space with Haver's property C. These results are refinements of theorems proven by Belegradek and Hu.
