2 Two - dimensional Artin groups with CAT ( 0 ) dimension three ∗
We exhibit 3-generator Artin groups which have finite 2-dimensional Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces, but which do not act properly discontinuously by semi-simple isometries on a 2-dimensional CAT(0) complex. We prove that infinitely many of these groups are the fundamental groups of compact, non-positively curved 3-complexes. These examples show that the geometric dimension of a CAT(0) group may be s...
متن کاملFixed points for total asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in a new version of bead space
The notion of a bead metric space is defined as a nice generalization of the uniformly convex normed space such as $CAT(0)$ space, where the curvature is bounded from above by zero. In fact, the bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces and normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. In this paper, w...
متن کاملCat(0) and Cat(-1) Dimensions of Torsion Free Hyperbolic Groups
We show that a particular free-by-cyclic group G has CAT(0) dimension equal to 2, but CAT(-1) dimension equal to 3. Starting from a fixed presentation 2-complex we define a family of non-positively curved piecewise Euclidean “model” spaces for G, and show that whenever the group acts properly by isometries on any proper 2-dimensional CAT(0) space X there exists a Gequivariant map from the unive...

متن کاملOn the Monotone Mappings in CAT(0) Spaces
In this paper, we first introduce a monotone mapping and its resolvent in general metric spaces.Then, we give two new iterative methods by combining the resolvent method with Halpern's iterative method and viscosity approximation method for finding a fixed point of monotone mappings and a solution of variational inequalities. We prove convergence theorems of the proposed iterations in ...
