The horofunction Morse characterization via ideal triangle points

About 8 years old · traced to

Let XX be a proper complete CAT(0) space, let cc be a geodesic ray starting at pp, and let h=bch=b_c be the corresponding horofunction. For each x∈Xx\in X, let (i∞)x(i_{\infty})_x denote the distinguished point associated to the triangle based on x,p,cx,p,c.

Morse characterization. The horofunction h=bch=b_c is Morse if and only if there exists a δ\delta such that, for every x∈Xx\in X, (i∞)x(i_{\infty})_x lies in the δ\delta-neighborhood of im⁡(c)\operatorname{im}(c).

This gives a geometric characterization of Morse horofunctions in terms of the ideal points of triangles based at infinity. The source does not provide evidence resolving the conjecture.
