Abstract A theorem of Tietze and Nakajima, from 1928, asserts that if a subset $X$ of ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ is closed, connected, and locally convex, then it is convex. We give an analogous “local to global convexity” theorem when the inclusion map of $X$ to ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ is replaced by a map from a topological space $X$ to ${{\mathbb{R}}^{n}}$ that satisfies certain local properties. Our motivation comes from the Condevaux–Dazord–Molino proof of the Atiyah–Guillemin–Sternberg convexity theorem in symplectic geometry.
