Let G be a one-ended group acting discretely and co-compactly on a CAT(0) space X. We show that the boundary of X has no cut points and that one can detect splittings of $G$ over two-ended groups and recover its JSJ decomposition from the…

In this paper, we study topological dynamics on the visual boundary and several combinatorial boundaries associated to $\operatorname{CAT}(0)$ spaces. Through verifying the freeness of Myrberg points on the boundaries, we prove that a large…

We show that the Hilbert space compression of any finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex is 1 and deduce that any discrete group acting properly, co-compactly on a CAT(0) cube complex is exact. The class of groups covered by this theorem…

In this note, we clarify that the boundary criterion for relative cubulation of the first author and Groves works even when the peripheral subgroups are not one-ended. Specifically, if the boundary criterion is satisfied for a relatively…

A tubular group is a group that acts on a tree with $\mathbb{Z}^2$ vertex stabilizers and $\mathbb{Z}$ edge stabilizers. This paper develops further a criterion of Wise and determines when a tubular group acts freely on a finite dimensional…

We show that if a hyperbolic group acts geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex, then the induced boundary action is hyperfinite. This means that for a cubulated hyperbolic group the natural action on its Gromov boundary is hyperfinite,…

In this paper, we present a notion of quasiconvexity in the setting of finitely-generated groups with hyperbolically embedded subgroups. Our main result shows that this notion yields uniform quasiconvex constants in the setting of coned-off…

Relying on work of Caprace and Sageev \cite{capracesageev:rank}, we provide an effective form of rank rigidity in the context of groups virtually acting freely cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex with a factor system. We accomplish this by…

In this paper, we study CAT(0) groups and Coxeter groups whose boundaries are scrambled sets. Suppose that a group $G$ acts geometrically (i.e. properly and cocompactly by isometries) on a CAT(0) space $X$. (Such group $G$ is called a {\it…

In this paper, we study the geometry of cone-offs of CAT(0) cube complexes over a family of combinatorially convex subcomplexes, with an emphasis on their Gromov-hyperbolicity. A first application gives a direct cubical proof of the…

We provide geometric conditions on a pair of hyperplanes of a CAT(0) cube complex that imply divergence bounds for the cube complex. As an application, we classify all right-angled Coxeter groups with quadratic divergence and show…

We introduce the bounded packing property for a subgroup of a countable discrete group G. This property gives a finite upper bound on the number of left cosets of the subgroup that are pairwise close in G. We establish basic properties of…

The Morse boundary of a proper geodesic metric space is designed to encode hypberbolic-like behavior in the space. A key property of this boundary is that a quasi-isometry between two such spaces induces a homeomorphism on their Morse…

We consider a cocompact discrete reflection group $W$ of a CAT(0) space $X$. Then $W$ becomes a Coxeter group. In this paper, we study an analogy between the Davis-Moussong complex $\Sigma(W,S)$ and the CAT(0) space $X$, and show several…

The rank of a hierarchically hyperbolic space is the maximal number of unbounded factors in a standard product region. For hierarchically hyperbolic groups, this coincides with the maximal dimension of a quasiflat. Examples for which the…

A finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex $X$ is equipped with several well-studied boundaries. These include the Tits boundary (which depends on the CAT(0) metric), the Roller boundary (which depends only on the combinatorial structure),…

Given a CAT(0) cube complex X, we show that if Aut(X) $\neq$ Isom(X) then there exists a full subcomplex of X which decomposes as a product with $\mathbb{R}^n$. As applications, we prove that if X is $\delta$-hyperbolic, cocompact and…

We introduce a general framework, based on \'etale topological categories, for studying discrete restriction semigroups and their algebras. Generalizing Paterson's universal groupoid of an inverse semigroup, we define the universal category…

Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…

Let (W,S) be a Coxeter system of finite rank (ie |S| is finite) and let A be the associated Coxeter (or Davis) complex. We study chains of pairwise parallel walls in A using Tits' bilinear form associated to the standard root system of…
