We investigate the horofunction boundary of the Hilbert geometry defined on an arbitrary finite-dimensional bounded convex domain D. We determine its set of Busemann points, which are those points that are the limits of `almost-geodesics'.…
We introduce the notion of k-lower divergence for geodesic rays in CAT(0) spaces. Building on the work of Charney and Sultan we give various characterizations of k-contracting geodesic rays using k-lower divergence and k-slim triangles. We…
We prove that the sublinearly Morse boundary of every known cubulated group continuously injects in the Gromov boundary of a certain hyperbolic graph. We also show that for all CAT(0) cube complexes, convergence to sublinearly Morse…
The 'contracting boundary' of a proper geodesic metric space consists of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like rays in a hyperbolic space. We introduce a geometrically relevant, quasi-isometry invariant topology on the…
Sublinearly Morse boundaries of proper geodesic spaces are introduced by Qing, Rafi and Tiozzo. Expanding on this work, Qing and Rafi recently developed the quasi-redirecting boundary, denoted $\partial G$, to include all directions of…
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 introduce a prime end-type theory on complete Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds using horosphere sequences. This allows to introduce a new notion of boundary-new even in the unit disc in the complex space-the horosphere boundary, and a…
In this paper we try to compare the "horoboundary" of a (not necessarily simply connected) negatively curved complete Riemannian manifold X with the visual one and describe with explicit examples some phenomenoms wich may appear when X is…
We highlight a condition, the approaching geodesics property, on a proper geodesic Gromov hyperbolic metric space, which implies that the horofunction compactification is topologically equivalent to the Gromov compactification. It is known…
Suppose Gamma is an S-arithmetic subgroup of a connected, semisimple algebraic group G over a global field Q (of any characteristic). It is well known that Gamma acts by isometries on a certain CAT(0) metric space X_S that is a Cartesian…
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…
We introduce and begin a systematic study of sublinearly contracting projections. We give two characterizations of Morse quasi-geodesics in an arbitrary geodesic metric space. One is that they are sublinearly contracting; the other is that…
We determine the set of Busemann points of an arbitrary finite-dimensional normed space. These are the points of the horofunction boundary that are the limits of "almost-geodesics". We prove that all points in the horofunction boundary are…
Let M be a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold, with sectional curvature K bounded above by -1. Under some assumptions on the geometry of the boundary of M, which are satisfied for instance if M is a symmetric space, or has…
For a Kobayashi hyperbolic domain, Abate introduced the notion of small and big horospheres of a given radius at a boundary point with a pole. In this article, we investigate which domains have the property that closed big horospheres and…
In this paper we give a complete description of the horofunction boundary of the infinite dimensional real hyperbolic space, and characterise its Busemann points.
The purpose of this article is towards systematically characterizing (holomorphic) retracts of domains of holomorphy; to begin with, bounded balanced pseudoconvex domains $B \subset \mathbb{C}^N$. Specifically, we show that every retract of…
In the directed landscape, the Martin boundary coincides with the horofunction boundary. We show that functions in this boundary are precisely the eternal solutions possessing a spatial growth rate, and that the minimal Martin boundary is…
We study the global topology of the horofunction compactification of smooth manifolds with a Finsler distance. The main goal is to show, for certain classes of these spaces, that the horofunction compactification is naturally homeomorphic…
We introduce a deformation of Riemann surfaces and we are interested in the convergence of this deformation to a point of the Gardiner-masur boundary of Teichmueller space. This deformation, which we call the horocyclic deformation, is…
