چکیده

In this paper, we study dense subsets of boundaries of CAT(0) groups. Suppose that a group G acts geometrically on a CAT(0) space X and suppose that there exists an element g0 ∈ G such that (1) Zg0 is finite, (2) X \ Fg0 is not connnected, and (3) each component of X \ Fg0 is convex and not g0-invariant, where Zg0 is the centralizer of g0 and Fg0 is the fixed-point set of g0 in X (that is, Zg0 = {h ∈ G| g0h = hg0} and Fg0 = {x ∈ X | g0x = x}). Then we show that each orbit Gα is dense in the boundary ∂X (i.e. ∂X is minimal) and the set {g∞ | g ∈ G, o(g) = ∞} is also dense in the boundary ∂X . We obtain an application for dense subsets on the boundary of a Coxeter system.

Cat(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 ...

On 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...

Homotopy 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...

Boundaries of Nonpositively Curved Groups of the Form G Z Z N

We prove that whenever G is negatively curved and ? = G ZZ n acts geometrically on two CAT(0)-spaces X and X 0 , their visual boundaries are ?-equivariantly homeomorphic, answering aarmatively a question of Gromov in this special case. However, we give a simple example that shows that the natural ?-equivariant quasi-isometry from X to X 0 does not continuously extend to a homeomorphism of visua...

Snowflake Geometry in Cat(0) Groups

We construct CAT(0) groups containing subgroups whose Dehn functions are given by x , for a dense set of numbers s ∈ [2,∞). This significantly expands the known geometric behavior of subgroups of CAT(0) groups.
