Gromov (2001) and Sturm (2003) proved that any four points in a $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ space satisfy a certain family of inequalities. We call those inequalities the $\boxtimes$-inequalities, following the notation used by Gromov. In this paper,…

For a Jordan domain in the plane the length metric space of points connected to an interior point by a curve of finite length is a CAT(0)space and Gromov hyperbolic. With respect to the cone topology, that space plus its boundary at…

It is well known that the Tits boundary of a proper cocompact CAT(0) space embeds into every asymptotic cone of the space. We explore the relationships between the asymptotic cones of a CAT(0) space and its boundary under both the standard…

We investigate various notions of rough CAT(0). These conditions define classes of spaces that strictly include the union of all Gromov hyperbolic length spaces and all CAT(0) spaces.

An argument is given to associate integrable nonintegrable transition of discrete maps with the transition of Lawvere's fixed point theorem to its own contrapositive. We show that the classical description of nonlinear maps is neither…

Croke and Kleiner constructed two homeomorphic locally CAT(0) complexes whose universal covers have visual boundaries that are not homeomorphic. We construct two homeomorphic locally CAT(0) complexes so that the visual boundary of one…

In this paper, we investigate an equivariant homeomorphism of the boundaries $\partial X$ and $\partial Y$ of two proper CAT(0) spaces $X$ and $Y$ on which a CAT(0) group $G$ acts geometrically. We provide a sufficient condition to obtain a…

We study the so-called Gray filtration on the set of phantom maps between two spaces. Using both its algebraic characterization and the Sullivan completion approach to phantom maps, we generalize some of the recent results of Le, McGibbon…

We consider a `contracting boundary' of a proper geodesic metric space consisting of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like geodesics in a hyperbolic space. We topologize this set via the Gromov product, in analogy to the…

We investigate CAT(0) metric spaces whose associated Tits boundary is compact. Prominent examples of such spaces are of course the euclidean ones. However there exist non trivial geodesically complete CAT(0) spaces with compact Tits…

We classify all $\pi_1$-injective proper maps between non-compact surfaces up to proper homotopy.

A horoboundary is one of the attempts to compactify metric spaces, and is constructed using continuous functions on metric spaces. It is a concept that includes global information of metric spaces, and its correspondence with an ideal…

We consider continuous maps of the interval which preserve the Lebesgue measure. Except for the identity map or $1 - \id$ all such maps have topological entropy at least $\log2/2$ and generically they have infinite topological entropy. In…

The quantization of the continous cat maps on the torus has led to rather pathological quantum objects [6]. The non-generic behaviour of this model has led some to conclude that the Correspondence Principle fails in this case [2]. In this…

Let $M_k$ be the complete, simply connected, Riemannian 2-manifold of constant curvature $k \le 0$. Let $E$ be a closed, simply connected subspace of $M_k$ with the property that every two points in $E$ is connected by a rectifiable path in…

A seminal result in geometric group theory is that a 1-ended hyperbolic group has a locally connected visual boundary. As a consequence, a 1-ended hyperbolic group also has a path connected visual boundary. In this paper, we study when this…

Using a four points inequality for the boundary of CAT(-1)-spaces, we study the relation between Gromov hyperbolic spaces and CAT(-1)-spaces.

We consider semigroups of continuous, surjective, locally injective maps of a compact metric space, and whether such semigroups admit a transfer operator.

We show that for every quasi-isometric map from a Hadamard manifold of pinched negative curvature to a locally compact, Gromov hyperbolic, ${\rm CAT}(0)$-space there exists an energy minimizing harmonic map at finite distance. This harmonic…

We show that if a 1-ended group $G$ acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space $X$ and $\bd X$ is separated by $m$ points then either $G$ is virtually a surface group or $G$ splits over a 2-ended group. In the course of the proof we study nesting…
