Lower sectional curvature bound can be described as an inequality on 6 distances between 4 points in a Riemannian manifold. I will define an analogous comparison for n-point sets and describe its relation to optimal transport and Alexandrov geometry. This is a joint project with Nina Lebedeva and Vladimir Zolotov.
