Following his discovery that finite metric spaces have injective envelopes naturally admitting a polyhedral structure, Isbell, in his pioneering work on injective metric spaces, attempted a characterization of cellular complexes admitting the structure of an injective metric space. A bit later, Mai and Tang confirmed Isbells conjecture that a simplicial complex is injectively metrizable if and only if it is collapsible. Considerable advances in the understanding, classification and applications of injective envelopes have since been made by Dress, Huber, Sturmfels and collaborators, and most recently by Lang. Unfortunately a combination theory for injective polyhedra is still unavailable. Here we expose a connection to the duality theory of cubings -- simply connected non-positively curved cubical complexes -- which provides a more principled and accessible approach to Mai and Tangs result, providing one with a powerful tool for systematic construction of locally-compact injective metric spaces: Main Theorem. Any complete pointed Gromov--Hausdorff limit of locally-finite piecewise-$ell_infty$ cubings is injective. This result may be construed as a combination theorem for the simplest injective polytopes, $ell_infty$-parallelopipeds, where the condition for retaining injectivity is the combinatorial non-positive curvature condition on the complex. Thus it represents a first step towards a more comprehensive combination theory for injective spaces. In addition to setting the earlier work on injectively metrizable complexes within its proper context of non-positively curved geometry, this paper is meant to provide the reader with a systematic review of the results~ ---~ otherwise scattered throughout the geometric group theory literature~ ---~ on the duality theory and the geometry of cubings, which make this connection possible.
In this article, we show that the Goldman-Iwahori metric on the space of all norms on a fixed vector space satisfies the Helly property for balls. On the non-Archimedean side, we deduce that most classical Bruhat-Tits buildings may be endowed with a
Dualism is a metaphysical, philosophical concept which refers to two irreducible, heterogeneous principles. This idea is known to appear in a lot of places in the universe, however a rigorous mathematical definition and theory is not yet established
Coincidence Site Lattices (CSLs) are a well established tool in the theory of grain boundaries. For several lattices up to dimension $d=4$, the CSLs are known explicitly as well as their indices and multiplicity functions. Many of them share a partic
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group. There are two natural duality constructions that assign to it the Langlands dual group $G^vee$ and the Poisson-Lie dual group $G^*$. The main result of this paper is the following relation between these tw
There is both theoretical and numerical evidence that the set of irreducible representations of a reductive group over local or finite fields is naturally partitioned into families according to analytic properties of representations. Examples of such
