In this note we show that given two complete geodesic Gromov hyperbolic spaces that are roughly isometric and $\varepsilon>0$, either the uniformization of both spaces with parameter $\varepsilon$ results in uniform domains, or else neither…

We show that if a proper, geodesically complete, CAT(0) homology manifold is quasi-isometric to the Euclidean space R^n then it is homeomorphic to R^n. On the other hand, we show that there exist proper, geodesically complete, CAT(0) spaces…

We study groups of isometries of packed, geodesically complete, CAT$(0)$-spaces for which the systole at every point is smaller than a universal constant depending only on the packing, deducing strong rigidity results. We show that if a…

In a recent paper, Zhou, Ponnusamy, and Rasila [Math. Nachr. (2025)] have established that the conformal deformations, with parameter $\epsilon>0$, of a Gromov hyperbolic space via Busemann functions are uniform spaces for sufficiently…

We propose the metric notion of strong hyperbolicity as a way of obtaining hyperbolicity with sharp additional properties. Specifically, strongly hyperbolic spaces are Gromov hyperbolic spaces that are metrically well-behaved at infinity,…

Petyt-Spriano-Zalloum recently developed the notion of a \textit{curtain model}, which is a hyperbolic space associated to any CAT(0) space. It plays a similar role for CAT(0) spaces that curve graphs do for mapping class groups of…

We show that the translation length of any parabolic isometry on a complete semi-uniformly visible CAT(0) space is always zero. As a consequence, we will classify the isometries on visible CAT(0) spaces in terms of translation lengths. We…

We explain why semistability of a one-ended proper CAT(0) space can be determined by the geodesic rays. This is applied to boundaries of CAT(0) groups.

It is shown that certain natural maps between the ideal, Gromov, and end boundaries of a complete CAT(0) space can fail to be either injective or surjective. Additionally the natural map from the Gromov boundary to the end boundary of a…

In this paper, we show some splitting theorems for CAT(0) spaces on which a product group acts geometrically and we obtain a splitting theorem for compact geodesic spaces of non-positive curvature. A CAT(0) group $\Gamma$ is said to be {\it…

The purpose of this paper is to investigate torsion-free groups which act properly and cocompactly on CAT(0) metric spaces which have isolated flats, as defined by Hruska. Our approach is to seek results analogous to those of Sela,…

In this paper, we study the capacity dimension of the boundary of $CAT(0)$ spaces. We first compare the two metrics on the boundary of a hyperbolic $CAT(0)$ space, i.e., the visual metric and the conical metric, and prove that they give the…

This thesis is dedicated to random walks on spaces with non-positive curvature. In particular, we study the case of group actions on CAT(0) spaces that admit contracting elements, that is, whose properties mimic those of loxodromic…

Gromov hyperbolic spaces have become an essential concept in geometry, topology and group theory. Here we extend Ancona's potential theory on Gromov hyperbolic manifolds and graphs of bounded geometry to a large class of Schr\"odinger…

In this project we explore the geometry of general metric spaces, where we do not necessarily have the tools of differential geometry on our side. Some metric spaces $(X,d)$ allow us to define geodesics, permitting us to compare geodesic…

In this paper, we study the geometry of cone-offs of CAT(0) cube complexes over a family of combinatorially convex subcomplexes, with an emphasis on their Gromov-hyperbolicity. A first application gives a direct cubical proof of the…

A simplicial complex is called negatively curved if all its simplices are isometric to simplices in hyperbolic space, and it satisfies Gromov's Link Condition. We prove that, subject to certain conditions, a compact graph of spaces whose…

Collapsibility is a combinatorial strengthening of contractibility. We relate this property to metric geometry by proving the collapsibility of any complex that is CAT(0) with a metric for which all vertex stars are convex. This strengthens…
