We study minimal sets on continua $X$ with a dense free interval $J$ and a locally connected remainder. This class of continua includes important spaces such as the topologist's sine curve or the Warsaw circle. In the case when minimal sets…
An expansion set is a set $\mathcal{B}$ such that each $b \in \mathcal{B}$ is equipped with a set of expansions $\mathcal{E}(b)$. The theory of expansion sets offers a systematic approach to the construction of classifying spaces for…
The present work considers the properties of classes of generally convex sets in the plane known as $1$-semiconvex and weakly $1$-semiconvex. More specifically, the examples of open and closed weakly $1$-semiconvex but non $1$-semiconvex…
We analyze weak convergence on CAT(0) spaces and the existence and properties of corresponding weak topologies.
A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map $\Phi:X\to exp(X)$ such that $[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y)$ for all $x,y\in X$. We prove that each convex subset of…
Graphical small cancellation extends the classical small cancellation theory and provides a powerful method for constructing groups with interesting features. In the classical setting, C(3)-T(6) small cancellation complexes are known to…
We describe a higher dimensional analogue of the Stallings folding sequence for group actions on CAT(0) cube complexes. We use it to give a characterization of quasiconvex subgroups of hyperbolic groups which act properly co-compactly on…
We provide a systematic description of the automorphism groups of specially cocompact CAT(0) cube complexes. We show that these groups are topologically finitely generated, present a method to explicitly obtain generating sets, and prove a…
A mean-convex set can be regarded as a barrier for the construction of minimal surfaces. Namely, if we are given a mean-convex set and a null-homotopic Jordan curve on its boundary, then there exists an embedded minimal disk with boundary…
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…
In this short note, we show that a group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex with virtually abelian hyperplane-stabilisers must decompose virtually as a free product of free abelian groups and surface groups.
We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…
We prove that, under certain mild conditions, every cocompact CAT(0) space is almost geodesically complete.
Properties of two classes of generally convex sets in the n-dimentional real Euclidean space, called m-semiconvex and weakly m-semiconvex, 1<=m<n, are investigated in the present work. In particular, it is established that an open set with…
We investigate the box dimensions of compact sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that contain a unit distance in every direction (such sets may have zero Hausdorff dimension). Among other results, we show that the lower box dimension must be at least…
On R^n endowed with a riemannian metric of bounded nonpositive curvature, the weakly convex closed subsets are topologically trivial. The stability of such subsets under intersection characterizes the euclidean spaces.
We determine the large scale geometry of the minimal displacement set of a hyperbolic isometry of a systolic complex. As a consequence, we describe the centraliser of such an isometry in a systolic group. Using these results, we construct a…
We show that in the framework of CAT(0) spaces, any convex combination of two mappings which are firmly nonexpansive -- or which satisfy the more general property $(P_2)$ -- is asymptotically regular, conditional on its fixed point set…
We first prove that for all compact metrizable spaces, there exists a topological embedding of the compact metrizable space into each of the sets of compact metric spaces which are connected, path-connected, geodesic, or CAT(0), in the…
We expand the class of groups with relatively geometric actions on CAT(0) cube complexes by proving that it is closed under $C'(\frac16)$--small cancellation free products. We build upon a result of Martin and Steenbock who prove an…
