Abstract

Given a Moebius homeomorphism f:XYf : \partial X \to \partial Y between boundaries of proper, geodesically complete CAT(-1) spaces X,YX,Y, and a family of probability measures {μx}xX\{ \mu_x \}_{x \in X} on X\partial X, we describe a continuous family of extensions {f^p:XY}1p\{\hat{f}_p : X \to Y \}_{1 \leq p \leq \infty} of ff, called the hyperbolic pp-barycenter maps of ff. If all the measures μx\mu_x have full support then for p=p = \infty the map f^\hat{f}_{\infty} coincides with the circumcenter map f^\hat{f} defined previously in \cite{biswas5}. We use this to show that if X,YX, Y are complete, simply connected manifolds with sectional curvatures KK satisfying b2K1-b^2 \leq K \leq -1, then the circumcenter maps of ff and f1f^{-1} are b\sqrt{b}-bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms which are inverses of each other. It follows that closed negatively curved manifolds with the same marked length spectrum are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic.
