Cocompact Proper CAT(0) Spaces
This paper is about geometric and topological properties of a proper CAT(0) spaceX which is cocompact i.e. which has a compact generating domain with respect to the full isometry group. It is shown that geodesic segments in X can “almost” be extended to geodesic rays. A basic ingredient of the proof of this geometric statement is the topological theorem that there is a top dimension d in which ...
متن کاملCocompact Cat(0) Spaces Are Almost Geodesically Complete
Let M be a Hadamard manifold, that is, a complete simply connected riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvatures. Then every geodesic segment α : [0, a] → M from α(0) to α(a) can be extended to a geodesic ray α : [0,∞) → M . We say then that the Hadamard manifold M is geodesically complete. Note that, in this case, all geodesic rays are proper maps. CAT(0) spaces are generalization...
متن کاملEquivariant Euler characteristics and K -homology Euler classes for proper cocompact G-manifolds
Let G be a countable discrete group and let M be a smooth proper cocompact G-manifold without boundary. The Euler operator defines via Kasparov theory an element, called the equivariant Euler class, in the equivariant KO -homology of M. The universal equivariant Euler characteristic of M, which lives in a group UG(M), counts the equivariant cells of M , taking the component structure of the var...
متن کاملThe equivariant Lefschetz fixed point theorem for proper cocompact G-manifolds
Suppose one is given a discrete group G, a cocompact proper Gmanifold M , and a G-self-map f : M → M . Then we introduce the equivariant Lefschetz class of f , which is globally defined in terms of cellular chain complexes, and the local equivariant Lefschetz class of f , which is locally defined in terms of fixed point data. We prove the equivariant Lefschetz fixed point theorem, which says th...
متن کاملEmbeddings of Proper Metric Spaces into Banach Spaces
We show that there exists a strong uniform embedding from any proper metric space into any Banach space without cotype. Then we prove a result concerning the Lipschitz embedding of locally finite subsets of Lp-spaces. We use this locally finite result to construct a coarse bi-Lipschitz embedding for proper subsets of any Lp-space into any Banach space X containing the l n p ’s. Finally using an...
