Cubulating spaces with walls
The elegant notion of a space with walls was introduced by Haglund and Paulin [6]. Prototypical examples of spaces with walls are CAT(0) cube complexes, introduced by Gromov in [5]. The purpose of this note is to observe that every space with walls has a canonical embedding in a CAT(0) cube complex and, consequently, a group action on a space with walls extends naturally to a group action on a ...
متن کاملMedian Spaces and Spaces with Measured Walls
We prove the existence of a close connection between spaces with measured walls and median metric spaces. In particular we show that some spaces with measured walls (e.g. real hyperbolic spaces) embed into median metric spaces which are at finite Hausdorff distance from their embedded image. We also relate properties (T) and Haagerup (a-T-menability) to actions on median spaces and on spaces wi...
متن کاملDomain Walls and Spaces of Special Holonomy
We review the relations between a family of domain-wall solutions to M-theory and gravitational instantons with special holonomy. When oxidized into the maximal-dimension parent supergravity, the transverse spaces of these domain walls become cohomogeneity-one spaces with generalized Heisenberg symmetries and a homoth-etic conformal symmetry. These metrics may also be obtained as scaling limits...
متن کاملCubulating Graphs of Free Groups with Cyclic Edge Groups
We prove that if G is a group that splits as a finite graph of finitely generated free groups with cyclic edge groups, and G has no non-Euclidean Baumslag-Solitar subgroups, then G is the fundamental group of a compact nonpositively curved cube complex. In addition, if G is also wordhyperbolic (i.e., if G contains no Baumslag-Solitar subgroups of any type), we show that G is linear (in fact, is...
متن کاملWorking through Walls: Mediating Cooperation in Dynamic Spaces
An important part of supporting cooperative work is to support the work rather than becoming an obstacle between the people and their task. We are striving to achieve this kind of invisible support by developing systems that provide interaction via modalities other than keyboard and mouse. We present two prototype systems that we have developed that use speech and pen based interaction. One sys...
