Flat Closing Conjecture for proper CAT(0) spaces
Flat Closing Conjecture for proper CAT(0) spaces
Let be a proper CAT(0) space with a proper cocompact action of a discrete group . A flat is -periodic if some subgroup preserves and is compact. Assume that contains a flat of dimension . Flat Closing Conjecture. Does contain a -periodic flat of dimension ? The conjecture asks for a converse to the flat torus theorem, which constructs flats from free Abelian subgroups of . The source presents it as an open question and notes that, for discrete , a periodic flat has a virtually free Abelian stabilizer of the corresponding rank.
