If you have a question about this talk, please contact nobody. NPCW06 - Non-positive curvature and applications In this talk we will discuss a generalization of Sageev’s wallspace construction that allows to study the geometry of certain spaces by combinatorial properties of certain walls. Specifically, we’ll look at the interactions with hyperbolicity and focus on two applications. In CAT spaces, these techniques allow to construct a “universal hyperbolic quotient”, called the curtain model, that is analogous to the curve graph of a surface. When focusing on a space that is already hyperbolic, the construction can be used to improve its fine properties, and in particular we address a conjecture of Rips and Sela and show that residually finite hyperbolic groups admit globally stable cylinders. This is joint work with Petyt and Zalloum. This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series. This talk is included in these lists:
