Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces, I: Curve complexes for cubical groups

J Behrstock, M Hagen, A Sisto - Geometry & Topology, 2017 - msp.org
In the context of CAT (0) cubical groups, we develop an analogue of the theory of curve
complexes and subsurface projections. The role of the subsurfaces is played by a collection …

Rank rigidity for CAT (0) cube complexes

PE Caprace, M Sageev - Geometric and functional analysis, 2011 - Springer
We prove that any group acting essentially without a fixed point at infinity on an irreducible
finite-dimensional CAT (0) cube complex contains a rankone isometry. This implies that the …

Decomposing locally compact groups into simple pieces

PE Caprace, N Monod - Mathematical Proceedings of the …, 2011 - cambridge.org
We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is
on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is …

Rank-one isometries of buildings and quasi-morphisms of Kac–Moody groups

PE Caprace, K Fujiwara - Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2010 - Springer
Given an irreducible non-spherical non-affine (possibly non-proper) building X, we give
sufficient conditions for a group G< Aut (X) to admit an infinite-dimensional space of non …

At infinity of finite-dimensional CAT (0) spaces

PE Caprace, A Lytchak - Mathematische Annalen, 2010 - Springer
We show that any filtering family of closed convex subsets of a finite-dimensional CAT (0)
space X has a non-empty intersection in the visual bordification X= X ∪ ∂ X. Using this fact …

A link condition for simplicial complexes, and CUB spaces

T Haettel - arXiv preprint arXiv:2211.07857, 2022 - arxiv.org
We motivate the study of metric spaces with a unique convex geodesic bicombing, which we
call CUB spaces. These encompass many classical notions of nonpositive curvature, such …

Isometry groups of non‐positively curved spaces: discrete subgroups

PE Caprace, N Monod - Journal of Topology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We study lattices in non‐positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that
setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided …

A GH-compactification of CAT-groups via totally disconnected, unimodular actions

N Cavallucci - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.05640, 2023 - arxiv.org
We give a detailed description of the possible limits in the equivariant-Gromov-Hausdorff
sense of sequences $(X_j, G_j) $, where the $ X_j $'s are proper, geodesically complete …

Locally elliptic actions, torsion groups, and nonpositively curved spaces

T Haettel, D Osajda - arXiv preprint arXiv:2110.12431, 2021 - arxiv.org
Extending and unifying a number of well-known conjectures and open questions, we
conjecture that locally elliptic (that is, every element has a bounded orbit) actions by …

Proper proximality in non-positive curvature

C Horbez, J Huang, J Lécureux - American Journal of Mathematics, 2023 - muse.jhu.edu
Proper proximality of a countable group is a notion that was introduced by Boutonnet, Ioana
and Peterson as a tool to study rigidity properties of certain von Neumann algebras …
