Sub-actions for geodesic flows on locally CAT(-1) spaces

Dynamical Systems 2024-10-02 v1 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We extend a result of Lopes and Thieullen on sub-actions for smooth Anosov flows to the setting of geodesic flow on locally CAT(-1) spaces. This allows us to use arguments originally due to Croke and Dairbekov to prove a volume rigidity theorem for some interesting locally CAT(-1) spaces, including quotients of Fuchsian buildings and surface amalgams.
