Abstract

We prove that a connected locally compact median space of finite rank which admits a transitive action is isometric to Rn\mathbb{R}^n endowed with the 1\ell^1-metric. In the other side, replacing the transitivity assumption on the group of isometries by a certain regularity of the action on the compactification of the space, we show that all orbits are discrete. In our way to prove these results, we give a characterization of the compactness in complete median spaces of finite rank by the combinatorics of their halfspaces.
