Abstract

We give a detailed description of the possible limits in the equivariant-Gromov-Hausdorff sense of sequences (Xj,Gj)(X_j,G_j), where the XjX_j's are proper, geodesically complete, uniformly packed, CAT(0)(0)-spaces and the GjG_j's are closed, totally disconnected, unimodular, uniformly cocompact groups of isometries. We show that the class of metric quotients G/XG/X, where XX and GG are as above, is compact under Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. In particular it is a geometric compactification of the class of locally geodesically complete, locally compact, locally CAT(0)(0)-spaces with uniformly packed universal cover and uniformly bounded diameter.
