Abstract
Let S be a rank-one symmetric space of non-compact type and let X be a CAT(−1) space. A well-known result by Bourdon states that if a topological embedding φ:∂∞S→∂∞X respects cross ratios, that means crS(ξ0,η0,ξ1,η1)=crX(φ(ξ0),φ(η0),φ(ξ1),φ(η1)) for every ξ0,η0,ξ1,η1∈∂∞S, then φ is induced by an isometric embedding of S into X. We generalize this result when S=H2 is the real hyperbolic plane as it follows. Let φk:∂∞H2→∂∞X be a sequence of continuous maps which are asymptotically Moebius, that means limk→∞crX(φk(ξ0),φk(η0),φk(ξ1),φk(η1))=crH2(ξ0,η0,ξ1,η1) for every ξ0,η0,ξ1,η1∈∂∞H2. Assume that the isometry group Isom(X) acts transitively on triples of distinct points of ∂∞X. Then there must exists a sequence (gk)k∈N, gk∈Isom(X) and a map φ∞:∂∞H2→∂∞X such that limk→∞gkφk(ξ)=φ∞(ξ) for every ξ∈∂∞H2 and φ∞ is induced by an isometric embedding of H2 into X.
