We show that a geodesic metric space is hyperbolic in the sense of Gromov if and only if intersections of balls have bounded eccentricity. In particular, $\R$-trees are characterized among geodesic metric spaces by the property that the…
By a geodesic subspace of a metric space $X$ we mean a subset $A$ of $X$ such that any two points in $A$ can be connected by a geodesic in $A$. It is easy to check that a geodesic metric space $X$ is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree (that is, a…
In this paper, we first prove that any power quasi-symmetry of two metric spaces induces a rough quasi-isometry between their infinite hyperbolic cones. Second, we prove that for a complete metric space $Z$, there exists a point $\omega$ in…
In a recent paper Chatterji and Niblo proved that a geodesic metric space is Gromov hyperbolic if and only if the intersection of any two closed balls has uniformly bounded eccentricity. In their paper, the authors raise the question…
We characterize Gromov hyperbolicity of the quasihyperbolic metric space (\Omega,k) by geometric properties of the Ahlfors regular length metric measure space (\Omega,d,\mu). The characterizing properties are called the Gehring--Hayman…
We show that every quasihyperbolic geodesic in a John space admitting a roughly starlike Gromov hyperbolic quasihyperbolization is a cone arc. This result provides a new approach to the elementary metric geometry question, formulated in…
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 construct a category of examples of partially hyperbolic geodesic flows which are not Anosov, deforming the metric of a compact locally symmetric space of nonconstant negative curvature. Candidates for such example as the product metric…
In this article we exhibit the largest constant in a quadratic isoperimetric inequality which ensures that a geodesic metric space is Gromov hyperbolic. As a particular consequence we obtain that Euclidean space is a borderline case for…
We prove that a PQ-symmetric homeomorphism between two complete metric spaces can be extended to a quasi-isometry between their hyperbolic approximations. This result is used to prove that two visual Gromov hyperbolic spaces are…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of quasihyperbolically visible spaces. As a tool, we study the connection between the Gromov boundary and the metric boundary.
We introduce the quasi-hyperbolicity constant of a metric space, a rough isometry invariant that measures how a metric space deviates from being Gromov hyperbolic. This number, for unbounded spaces, lies in the closed interval $[1,2]$. The…
We introduce a new quasi-isometry invariant of metric spaces called the hyperbolic dimension, hypdim, which is a version of the Gromov's asymptotic dimension, asdim. The hyperbolic dimension is at most the asymptotic dimension, however,…
Although the hyperbolic metric possesses many remarkable properties, it is not defined on arbitrary subdomains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n \geq 2$. This article introduces a new hyperbolic-type metric that provides an alternative approach to…
We give an example of a visual Gromov Hyperbolic metric space X with asdimX=2 and dim(bdry X)=0
A soft presentation of hyperbolic spaces, free of differential apparatus, is offered. Fifth Euclid's postulate in such spaces is overthrown and, among other things, it is proved that spheres (equipped with great-circle distances) and…
This is a tale describing the large scale geometry of Euclidean plane domains with their hyperbolic or quasihyperbolic distances. We prove that in any hyperbolic plane domain, hyperbolic and quasihyperbolic quasi-geodesics are the same…
We study in the setting of a metric space $\left( X,d\right) $ some generalizations of four hyperbolic-type metrics defined on open sets $G$ with nonempty boundary in the $n-$dimensional Euclidean space, namely Gehring-Osgood metric,…
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of short arc and length map in quasihyperbolic metric spaces, and obtain some geometric characterizations of Gromov hyperbolicity for quasihyperbolic metric spaces in terms of the properties of short…
The large-scale geometry of hyperbolic metric spaces exhibits many distinctive features, such as the stability of quasi-geodesics (the Morse Lemma), the visibility property, and the homeomorphism between visual boundaries induced by a…
