We prove that if $f:R \rightarrow S$ is a local homomorphism of noetherian local rings, and $M$ is a non-zero finitely generated or artinian $S$-module whose injective dimension over $R$ is bounded by the difference of the embedding…

We prove that, under certain mild conditions, every cocompact CAT(0) space is almost geodesically complete.

We provide an analysis of the dynamics of isometries and semicontractions of metric spaces. Certain subsets of the boundary at infinity play a fundamental role and are identified completely for the standard boundaries of CAT(0)-spaces,…

Let $R$ be an affine domain of characteristic zero with finite quotients. We prove that a polynomial map over $R$ is surjective if and only if it is surjective over $\hat{R_{\mathfrak{m}}}$, the completion of $R$ with respect to…

We discuss two different in general natural approaches to the ideal closure and ideal boundary of Busemann nonpositively curved metric space. It is shown that the identity map of the space admits surjective continuation from its coarse…

We consider the coarse-geometric notion of ends in the context of coarse homotopy. We show that, when recontextualized as a functor from an appropriate coarse category of proper geodesic spaces, the set of ends $\mathcal{E}\text{nds}(-)$ is…

We show that an automorphism of an arbitrary CAT(0) cube complex either has a fixed point or preserves some combinatorial axis. It follows that when a group contains a distorted cyclic subgroup, it admits no proper action on a discrete…

Using only basic topological properties of real algebraic sets and regular morphisms we show that any injective regular self-mapping of a real algebraic set is surjective. Then we show that injective morphisms between germs of real…

Under certain assumptions on CAT(0) spaces, we show that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing. In particular, the Bowen-Margulis' measure finiteness assumption used in recent work of Ricks is removed. We also construct examples of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group acting isometrically on a measurable field $\mathbf{X}$ of CAT(0)-spaces of finite telescopic dimension over some ergodic standard Borel probability $\Gamma$-space $(\Omega,\mu)$. If $\mathbf{X}$…

As demonstrated by Croke and Kleiner, the visual boundary of a CAT(0) group is not well-defined since quasi-isometric CAT(0) spaces can have non-homeomorphic boundaries. We introduce a new type of boundary for a CAT(0) space, called the…

It is shown that a surjective monotone map $X\to Y$ between finite $T_0$-spaces induces a surjective map on homology. As such a map turns out to be a sequence of edge contractions in the Hasse diagram of $X$, followed by a homeomorphism,…

We characterize transversality, non-transversality properties on the moduli space of genus 0 stable maps to a rational projective surface. If a target space is equipped with a real structure, i.e, anti-holomorphic involution, then the…

We prove that finitely generated amenable groups acting on CAT(0) spaces satisfy the following alternative: either every action on a geodesically complete CAT(0) space with bounded geometry (or finite dimension) has a global fixed point, or…

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…

In this paper, we consider boundary extensions of two classes of mappings between metric measure spaces. These two mapping classes extend in particular the well-studied geometric mappings such as quasiregular mappings with integrable…

We give positive answers for questions by Berestovskii. Namely, we prove that every bijection of locally compact geodesically complete and connected at infinity CAT(0)-space $X$ onto itself preserving some fixed distance or satellite…

We introduce a natural notion of quaternionic map between almost quaternionic manifolds and we prove the following, for maps of rank at least one: 1) A map between quaternionic manifolds endowed with the integrable almost twistorial…

We study those groups that act properly discontinuously, cocompactly, and isometrically on CAT(0) spaces with isolated flats and the Relative Fellow Traveller Property. The groups in question include word hyperbolic CAT(0) groups as well as…

For a k-flat F inside a locally compact CAT(0)-space X, we identify various conditions that ensure that F bounds a (k+1)-dimensional half flat in X. Our conditions are formulated in terms of the ultralimit of X. As applications, we obtain…
