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'.…
In this paper we give a complete description of the horofunction boundary of the infinite dimensional real hyperbolic space, and characterise its Busemann points.
Generalizing works of D'Angeli and Donno, we describe, starting from an infinite sequence over $r$ letters with $r \neq 4i$ and $i \in \mathbb{N}$, a sequence of pointed finite graphs. We study the pointed Gromov-Hausdorff limit graphs…
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…
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 give a complete description of the horofunction boundary of finite-dimensional $\ell_p$ spaces for $1\leq p\leq \infty$. We also study the variation norm on $\mathbb{R}^{\mathcal{N}}$, $\mathcal{N}=\{1,...,N\}$, and the corresponding…
We study the horofunction boundary of finitely generated nilpotent groups, and the natural group action on it. More specifically, we prove the followings results: For discrete Heisenberg groups, we classify the orbits of Busemann points. As…
We use Busemann functions to construct volume preserving mappings in an asymptotically harmonic manifold. If the asymptotically harmonic manifold satisfies the visibility condition, we construct mappings which preserve distances in some…
We prove that the set of Busemann points (the limits of almost-geodesic rays) is nowhere dense in the horoboundary of the Teichm\"uller metric for all Teichm\"uller spaces of complex dimension strictly larger than 1. This shows that the…
\We introduce the horospherical depth, an intrinsic notion of statistical depth on Hadamard manifolds, and define the Busemann median as the set of its maximizers. The construction exploits the fact that the linear functionals appearing in…
In the f.g. setting, we construct horoballs which are "not centered around a geodesic" for generalized Heisenberg groups and all wreath products with an infinite acting group. That is, we find are limits of balls -- called horoballs --…
We provide a geometric condition which determines whether or not every point on the metric boundary of a graph with the standard path metric is a Busemann point, that is it is the limit point of a geodesic ray. We apply this and a related…
The geodesic approximation is a powerful method for studying the dynamics of BPS solitons. However, there are systems, such as BPS monopoles in three-dimensional hyperbolic space, where this approach is not applicable because the moduli…
We determine the asymptotic behaviour of extremal length along arbitrary Teichm\"uller rays. This allows us to calculate the endpoint in the Gardiner-Masur boundary of any Teichm\"uller ray. We give a proof that this compactification is the…
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…
For a proper, geodesic, Gromov hyperbolic metric space X, a discrete subgroup of isometries \Gamma whose limit set is uniformly perfect, and a disjoint collection of horoballs {H_j}, we show that the set of limit points badly approximable…
It is an open problem to show that in two-dimensional first-passage percolation, the sequence of finite geodesics from any point to $(n,0)$ has a limit in $n$. In this paper, we consider this question for first-passage percolation on a wide…
We show that the horoboundary of outer space for the Lipschitz metric is a quotient of Culler and Morgan's classical boundary, two trees being identified whenever their translation length functions are homothetic in restriction to the set…
For any intrinsic Gromov hyperbolic space we establish a Gehring-Hayman type theorem for conformally deformed spaces. As an application, we prove that any complete intrinsic hyperbolic space with atleast two points in the Gromov boundary…
Given a complete Gromov hyperbolic space $X$ that is roughly starlike from a point $\omega$ in its Gromov boundary $\partial_{G}X$, we use a Busemann function based at $\omega$ to construct an incomplete unbounded uniform metric space…
