Abstract

Kleiner-Leeb and Quint showed that convex subsets in higher-rank symmetric spaces are very rigid compared to rank 1 symmetric spaces. Motivated by this, we consider convex subsets in products of proper CAT(0) spaces X1×X2X_1\times X_2 and show that for any two convex co-compact actions ρi(Γ)\rho_i(\Gamma) on XiX_i, where i=1,2i=1, 2, if the diagonal action of Γ\Gamma on X1×X2X_1\times X_2 via ρ=(ρ1,ρ2)\rho=(\rho_1, \rho_2) is also convex co-compact, then under a suitable condition, ρ1(Γ)\rho_1(\Gamma) and ρ2(Γ)\rho_2(\Gamma) have the same marked length spectrum.
