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.
