Abstract

For locally finite CAT(0) cube complexes it is known that they are injectively metrizable choosing the ll_\infty-norm on each cube. In this paper we show that cube complexes which are injective with respect to this metric are always CAT(0). Moreover we give a criterion for finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes with finite width to posses an injective metric. As a side result we prove a modification of Bridson's Theorem for cube complexes saying that finite dimensional cube complexes with lpl_p-norms on the cubes are geodesic.
