This is the first in a series of papers concerned with Morse quasiflats, which are a generalization of Morse quasigeodesics to arbitrary dimension. In this paper we introduce a number of alternative definitions, and under appropriate assumptions on the ambient space we show that they are equivalent and quasi-isometry invariant; we also give a variety of examples. The second paper proves that Morse quasiflats are asymptotically conical and have canonically defined Tits boundaries; it also gives some first applications.

This is the second in a two part series of papers concerning Morse quasiflats - higher dimensional analogs of Morse quasigeodesics. Our focus here is on their asymptotic structure. In metric spaces with convex geodesic bicombings, we prove asymptotic
conicality, uniqueness of tangent cones at infinity and Euclidean volume growth rigidity for Morse quasiflats. Moreover, we provide some immediate consequences.
To every Gromov hyperbolic space X one can associate a space at infinity called the Gromov boundary of X. Gromov showed that quasi-isometries of hyperbolic metric spaces induce homeomorphisms on their boundaries, thus giving rise to a well-defined no
tion of the boundary of a hyperbolic group. Croke and Kleiner showed that the visual boundary of non-positively curved (CAT(0)) groups is not well-defined, since quasi-isometric CAT(0) spaces can have non-homeomorphic boundaries. For any sublinear function $kappa$, we consider a subset of the visual boundary called the $kappa$-Morse boundary and show that it is QI-invariant and metrizable. This is to say, the $kappa$-Morse boundary of a CAT(0) group is well-defined. In the case of Right-angled Artin groups, it is shown in the Appendix that the Poisson boundary of random walks is naturally identified with the $sqrt{t log t}$--boundary.
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 def
ines 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.
Let $G$ be a finite group with symmetric generating set $S$, and let $c = max_{R > 0} |B(2R)|/|B(R)|$ be the doubling constant of the corresponding Cayley graph, where $B(R)$ denotes an $R$-ball in the word-metric with respect to $S$. We show that th
e multiplicity of the $k$th eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the Cayley graph of $G$ is bounded by a function of only $c$ and $k$. More specifically, the multiplicity is at most $exp((log c)(log c + log k))$. Similarly, if $X$ is a compact, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature, then the multiplicity of the $k$th eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $X$ is at most $exp(n^2 + n log k)$. The first result (for $k=2$) yields the following group-theoretic application. There exists a normal subgroup $N$ of $G$, with $[G : N] leq alpha(c)$, and such that $N$ admits a homomorphism onto the cyclic group $Z_M$, where $M geq |G|^{delta(c)}$ and $alpha(c), delta(c) > 0$ are explicit functions depending only on $c$. This is the finitary analog of a theorem of Gromov which states that every infinite group of polynomial growth has a subgroup of finite index which admits a homomorphism onto the integers. This addresses a question of Trevisan, and is proved by scaling down Kleiners proof of Gromovs theorem. In particular, we replace the space of harmonic functions of fixed polynomial growth by the second eigenspace of the Laplacian on the Cayley graph of $G$.
We study left-invariant distances on Lie groups for which there exists a one-parameter family of homothetic automorphisms. The main examples are Carnot groups, in particular the Heisenberg group with the standard dilations. We are interested in crite
ria implying that, locally and away from the diagonal, the distance is Euclidean Lipschitz and, consequently, that the metric spheres are boundaries of Lipschitz domains in the Euclidean sense. In the first part of the paper, we consider geodesic distances. In this case, we actually prove the regularity of the distance in the more general context of sub-Finsler manifolds with no abnormal geodesics. Secondly, for general groups we identify an algebraic criterium in terms of the dilating automorphisms, which for example makes us conclude the regularity of homogeneous distances on the Heisenberg group.In such a group, we analyze in more details the geometry of metric spheres. We also provide examples of homogeneous groups where spheres presents cusps.
