Ballmann's higher rank rigidity conjecture for CAT(0) spaces
Ballmann's higher rank rigidity conjecture for CAT(0) spaces
Let be a locally compact CAT(0) space with a geometric group action . An -flat is an isometrically embedded copy of Euclidean -space, where . Higher rank rigidity conjecture. If every geodesic in lies in an -flat, then is a Riemannian symmetric space, a Euclidean building, or non-trivially splits as a metric product. This conjecture is the CAT(0)-space analogue of higher-rank rigidity for Hadamard manifolds; the supplied source presents it as the main motivation and does not state whether it is resolved in this generality.
