Hausdorff stability of the cut locus under C2-perturbations of the metric

In this article, we prove the stability with respect to the Hausdorff metric $d_H$ of the cut locus $\mathrm{Cu}(p, \mathfrak{g})$ of a point $p$ in a compact Riemannian manifold $(M, \mathfrak{g})$ under $C^2$ perturbation of the metric. Specifically, given a sequence of metrics $\mathfrak{g}_i$ on $M$, converging to $\mathfrak{g}$ in the $C^2$ topology, and a sequence of points $p_i$ in $M$, converging to $p$, we show that $\lim_i d_{H}\left( \mathrm{Cu}(p_i, \mathfrak{g}_i), \mathrm{Cu}(p, \mathfrak{g}) \right) = 0$. Along the way, we also prove the continuous dependence of the cut time map on the metric.
