Divergence of Morse geodesics

Abstract

Behrstock and Dru\c{t}u raised a question about the existence of Morse geodesics in CAT(0)CAT(0) spaces with divergence function strictly greater than rnr^n and strictly less than rn+1r^{n+1}, where nn is an integer greater than 11. In this paper, we answer the question of Behrstock and Dru\c{t}u by showing that for each real number s2s\geq 2, there is a CAT(0)CAT(0) space XX with a proper and cocompact action of some finitely generated group such that XX contains a Morse bi-infinite geodesic with the divergence equivalent to rsr^s.
