problem Understanding how to combine locally CAT(0)CAT(0) spaces.
method Describes a gluing process for subsets of the Euclidean plane that maintain the CAT(0)CAT(0) property.

We study the curvature of metric spaces and branched covers of Riemannian manifolds, with applications in topology and algebraic geometry. Here curvature bounds are expressed in terms of the CAT(k) inequality. We prove a general CAT(k) extension theorem, giving sufficient conditions on and near the boundary of a locall…

In this paper, we present a new open source toolkit for automatic speech recognition (ASR), named CAT (CRF-based ASR Toolkit). A key feature of CAT is discriminative training in the framework of conditional random field (CRF), particularly with connectionist temporal classification (CTC) inspired state topology. CAT co…

New conditions ensure surface group extensions are non-positively curved.

In this article, I prove that full subcomplexes of CAT(0) simplicial 3-complexes inherit the non positive curvature condition, and describe a family of counterexamples that prove this result can not be extended to higher dimensions.

We introduce new techniques for studying boundary dynamics of CAT(0) groups. For a group GG acting geometrically on a CAT(0) space XX we show there is a flat FXF\subset X of maximal dimension whose boundary sphere intersects every minimal GG-invariant subset of X\partial_\infty X. As a result we derive a necessary …

In this paper, we investigate an equivariant homeomorphism of the boundaries X\partial X and Y\partial Y of two proper CAT(0) spaces XX and YY on which a CAT(0) group GG acts geometrically. We provide a sufficient condition to obtain a GG-equivariant homeomorphism of the two boundaries X\partial X and $\partial …

We prove that a hyperplane in a CAT(0) cubical complex X has no self-intersections and separates X into two convex complementary components. These facts were originally proved by Sageev. Our argument shows that his theorem is a corollary of Gromov's link condition. We also give new arguments establishing some combinato…

We investigate the Tits boundary of locally compact CAT(0) 2-complexes. In particular we show that away from the endpoints, a geodesic segment in the Tits boundary is the ideal boundary of an isometrically embedded Euclidean sector. As applications, we provide sufficient conditions for two points in the Tits boundary t…

For a k-flat F inside a locally compact CAT(0)-space X, we identify various conditions that ensure that F bounds a (k+1)-dimensional half flat in X. Our conditions are formulated in terms of the ultralimit of X. As applications, we obtain (1) constraints on the behavior of quasi-isometries between tocally compact CAT(0…

We construct examples of smooth 4-dimensional manifolds M supporting a locally CAT(0)-metric, whose universal cover X satisfy Hruska's isolated flats condition, and contain 2-dimensional flats F with the property that the boundary at infinity of F defines a nontrivial knot in the boundary at infinity of X. As a consequ…

It is well known that every word hyperbolic group has a well-defined visual boundary. An example of C. Croke and B. Kleiner shows that the same cannot be said for CAT(0) groups. All boundaries of a CAT(0) group are, however, shape equivalent, as observed by M. Bestvina and R. Geoghegan. Bestvina has asked if they also …

Let G be a simple algebraic group. Labelled trivalent graphs called webs can be used to product invariants in tensor products of minuscule representations. For each web, we construct a configuration space of points in the affine Grassmannian. Via the geometric Satake correspondence, we relate these configuration spaces…

We develop an algorithm of polynomial time complexity to construct the Grushko decomposition of fundamental groups of graphs of free groups with cyclic edge groups. Our methods rely on analysing vertex links of certain CAT(0) square complexes naturally associated with a special class of the above groups. Our main resul…

M. Bestvina has shown that for any given torsion-free CAT(0) group G, all of its boundaries are shape equivalent. He then posed the question of whether they satisfy the stronger condition of being cell-like equivalent. In this article we prove that the answer is "Yes" in the situation where the group in question splits…

We show that groups satisfying Kazhdan's property (T) have no unbounded actions on finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes, and deduce that there is a locally CAT(-1) Riemannian manifold which is not homotopy equivalent to any finite dimensional, locally CAT(0) cube complex.

In this paper, we investigate finitely generated groups of isometries of CAT(0) spaces containing some central hyperbolic isometry, and study CAT(0) groups.
