Abstract

These are lecture notes for a minicourse on group actions on injective spaces and Helly graphs, given at the CRM Montreal in June 2023. We review the basics of injective metric spaces and Helly graphs, emphasizing the parallel between the two theories. We also describe various elementary properties of groups actions on such spaces. We present several constructions of injective metric spaces and Helly graphs with interesting actions of many groups of geometric nature. We also list a few exercises and open questions at the end.
