Gluing Hyperconvex Metric Spaces

Benjamin Miesch (2015)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

We investigate how to glue hyperconvex (or injective) metric spaces such that the resulting space remains hyperconvex. We give two new criteria, saying that on the one hand gluing along strongly convex subsets and on the other hand gluing along externally hyperconvex subsets leads to hyperconvex spaces. Furthermore, we show by an example that these two cases where gluing works are opposed and cannot be combined.

Isometries of spaces of convex compact subsets of globally non-positively Busemann curved spaces

Thomas Foertsch (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider the Hausdorff metric on the space of compact convex subsets of a proper, geodesically complete metric space of globally non-positive Busemann curvature in which geodesics do not split, and characterize their surjective isometries. Moreover, an analogous characterization of the surjective isometries of the space of compact subsets of a proper, uniquely geodesic, geodesically complete metric space in which geodesics do not split is given.

Isometries of systolic spaces

Tomasz Elsner (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We provide a classification of isometries of systolic complexes corresponding to the classification of isometries of CAT(0)-spaces. We prove that any isometry of a systolic complex either fixes the barycentre of some simplex (elliptic case) or stabilizes a thick geodesic (hyperbolic case). This leads to an alternative proof of the fact that finitely generated abelian subgroups of systolic groups are undistorted.

Les géométries de Hilbert sont à géométrie locale bornée

Bruno Colbois, Constantin Vernicos (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

On montre que la géométrie de Hilbert d’un domaine convexe de n est à géométrie locale bornée c-à-d que pour un rayon fixé, toutes les boules sont bilipschitz à un domaine de n euclidien. On en déduit que si la géométrie de Hilbert est hyperbolique au sens de Gromov, alors le bas de son spectre est strictement positif. On donne un contre-exemple en dimension trois qui montre que la réciproque n’est pas vraie pour les géométries de Hilbert non planes.
