چکیده
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.

Cat(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 کاملHyperbolic Alternating Virtual Link Groups
We study the topology and geometry of virtual link complements and groups. We show that the groups defined by the Wirtinger presentation of certain prime dense alternating virtual links are CAT(0) and hyperbolic. MSC: 57M05, 57M50, 20F65, 20F67.
متن کاملCoxeter Groups and the Moussong Complex
For any Coxeter Group, we can construct a CAT(0) metric cell complex, on which the group acts co-compactly discretely by isometries. This theorem is due to Moussong, hence the complex is called the Moussong Complex. To understand the theorem, we need to consider some geometry, and find some equivalent characterisations of a space being CAT(κ) for various values of κ ∈ R. We also need some group...
متن کاملCompletions, Branched Covers, Artin Groups and Singularity Theory
We study the curvature of metric spaces and branched covers of Riemannian manifolds, with applications in topology and algebraic geometry. Here curvature bounds are expressed in terms of the CAT(χ) inequality. We prove a general CAT(χ) extension theorem, giving sufficient conditions on and near the boundary of a locally CAT(χ) metric space for the completion to be CAT(χ). We use this to prove t...
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...
