Natural maps between CAT(0) boundaries

چکیده
It is shown that certain natural maps between the ideal, Gromov, and end boundaries of a complete CAT(0) space can fail to be either injective or surjective. Additionally the natural map from the Gromov boundary to the end boundary of a complete CAT(−1) space can fail to be either injective or surjective.

Affine Maps between Cat(0) Spaces
We study affine maps between CAT(0) spaces with geometric actions, and show that they essentially split as products of dilations and linear maps (on the Euclidean factor). This extends known results from the Riemannian case. Furthermore, we prove a splitting lemma for the Tits boundary of a CAT(0) space with geometric action, a variant of a splitting lemma for geodesically complete CAT(1) space...
متن کاملBoundary cue invariance in cortical orientation maps.
We effortlessly perceive oriented boundaries defined by either luminance changes ('first-order' cues) or texture variations ('second-order' cues). Many neurons in mammalian visual cortex show orientation preference to both types of boundaries, but it is uncertain how they contribute to perceptual orientation cue-invariance at the neuronal population level. Using optical imaging in cat A 18, we ...
متن کاملCat(0) Groups and Coxeter Groups Whose Boundaries Are Scrambled Sets
In this paper, we study CAT(0) groups and Coxeter groups whose boundaries are scrambled sets. Suppose that a group G acts geometrically (i.e. properly and cocompactly by isometries) on a CAT(0) space X. (Such group G is called a CAT(0) group.) Then the group G acts by homeomorphisms on the boundary ∂X of X and we can define a metric d∂X on the boundary ∂X. The boundary ∂X is called a scrambled ...
متن کاملHomotopy of Ends and Boundaries of CAT(0) Groups
For n ≥ 0, we exhibit CAT(0) groups that are n-connected at infinity, and have boundary which is (n− 1)-connected, but this boundary has non-trivial n-homotopy group. In particular, we construct 1ended CAT(0) groups that are simply connected at infinity, but have a boundary with non-trivial fundamental group. Our base examples are 1-ended CAT(0) groups that have non-path connected boundaries. I...
متن کاملOn the dynamics of isometries
We provide an analysis of the dynamics of isometries and semicontractions of metric spaces. Certain subsets of the boundary at infinity play a fundamental role and are identified completely for the standard boundaries of CAT(0)– spaces, Gromov hyperbolic spaces, Hilbert geometries, certain pseudoconvex domains, and partially for Thurston’s boundary of Teichmüller spaces. We present several rath...
