For a k-flat F inside a locally compact CAT(0)-space X, we identify various conditions that ensure that F bounds a (k+1)-dimensional half flat in X. Our conditions are formulated in terms of the ultralimit of X. As applications, we obtain (1) constraints on the behavior of quasi-isometries between tocally compact CAT(0)-spaces, (2) constraints on the possible non-positively curved Riemannian metrics supported by certain manifolds, and (3) a correspondence between metric splittings of a complete, simply connected, non-positively curved Riemannian manifold and the metric splittings of its asymptotic cones. Furthermore, combining our results with the Ballmann, Burns-Spatzier rigidity theorem and the classical Mostow rigidity theorem, we also obtain (4) a new proof of Gromovs rigidity theorem for higher rank locally symmetric spaces.
We analyze weak convergence on $CAT(0)$ spaces and the existence and properties of corresponding weak topologies.
We construct examples of smooth 4-dimensional manifolds M supporting a locally CAT(0)-metric, whose universal cover X satisfy Hruskas isolated flats condition, and contain 2-dimensional flats F with the property that the boundary at infinity of F defines a nontrivial knot in the boundary at infinity of X. As a consequence, we obtain that the fundamental group of M cannot be isomorphic to the fundamental group of any Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature. In particular, M is a locally CAT(0)-manifold which does not support any Riemannian metric of nonpositive sectional curvature.
We show that, given a metric space $(Y,d)$ of curvature bounded from above in the sense of Alexandrov, and a positive Radon measure $mu$ on $Y$ giving finite mass to bounded sets, the resulting metric measure space $(Y,d,mu)$ is infinitesimally Hilbertian, i.e. the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}(Y,d,mu)$ is a Hilbert space. The result is obtained by constructing an isometric embedding of the `abstract and analytical space of derivations into the `concrete and geometrical bundle whose fibre at $xin Y$ is the tangent cone at $x$ of $Y$. The conclusion then follows from the fact that for every $xin Y$ such a cone is a CAT(0)-space and, as such, has a Hilbert-like structure.
We show that if X is a piecewise Euclidean 2-complex with a cocompact isometry group, then every 2-quasiflat in X is at finite Hausdorff distance from a subset which is locally flat outside a compact set, and asymptotically conical.
