The purpose of this paper is to investigate torsionfree groups which act properly and cocompactly on CAT(0) metric spaces which have isolated flats and relatively thin triangles, as defined by Hruska [17]. Our approach is to seek results analogous to those of Sela, Kharlampovich and Miasnikov for free groups and to those of Sela (and Rips and Sela) for torsion-free hyperbolic groups. This paper...

متن کاملOn polygons, twin trees, and CAT(1)-spaces
We give a model theoretic construction for generalized n-gons satisfying a weak Moufang condition. An ultraproduct of these yields a forest, from which we obtain twin and multiple trees in the sense of Tits/Ronan as well as homogeneous CAT(1)-spaces. 1

متن کاملFlat strips, Bowen-Margulis measures, and mixing of the geodesic flow for rank one CAT(0) spaces
Let X be a proper, geodesically complete CAT(0) space under a proper, non-elementary, isometric action by a group Γ with a rank one element. We construct a generalized Bowen-Margulis measure on the space of unit-speed parametrized geodesics of X modulo the Γ-action. Although the construction of Bowen-Margulis measures for rank one nonpositively curved manifolds and for CAT(−1) spaces is well-kn...
