The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the (Metric) Tree: The Equivalence of Definitions

Metric Geometry 2013-06-27 v1

Abstract

In this paper we prove the equivalence of definitions for metric trees and for \delta-hyperbolic spaces. We point out how these equivalences can be used to understand the geometric and metric properties of \delta-hyperbolic spaces and its relation to CAT(\kappa) spaces.
