Sublinearly Morse Geodesics in CAT(0) Spaces: Lower Divergence and Hyperplane Characterization

Group Theory 2022-09-07 v2

Abstract

We introduce the notion of k-lower divergence for geodesic rays in CAT(0) spaces. Building on the work of Charney and Sultan we give various characterizations of k-contracting geodesic rays using k-lower divergence and k-slim triangles. We also characterize k-contracting geodesic rays in CAT(0) cube complexes using sequences of well-separated hyperplanes.
