Abstract

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 Rn\mathbb{R}^n. As applications, we prove that if X is δ\delta-hyperbolic, cocompact and 1-ended, then Aut(X) == Isom(X) unless X is quasi-isometric to H2\mathbb{H}^2, and extend the rank-rigidity result of Caprace-Sageev to any lattice Γ \Gamma\leq Isom(X).
