自由积的外空间何时是CAT(0)的?

When is the Outer Space of a free product CAT(0)?

Robert Alonzo Lyman

AI总结:

本文完全刻画了自由积外空间的单纯形骨架何时支持等变CAT(0)度量,证明维数至少为三时绝非CAT(0),并发现一类二维外空间确实支持等变CAT(0)度量。

摘要:

Guirardel和Levitt推广了Culler和Vogtmann关于自由群的外空间(Outer Space)的构造,为群的自由积构造了一个外空间。我们完全刻画了该空间(或更确切地说,其单纯形骨架)何时支持等变的、分片欧氏或分片双曲的CAT(0)度量。我们的结果大多是负面的,扩展了Bridson的学位论文工作,并与Cunningham的学位论文工作相关。特别地,只要该骨架的维数至少为三,它就绝不是CAT(0)的。令人惊讶的是,我们展示了一族自由积,其外空间是二维的,并且确实支持一个等变的CAT(0)度量。

英文摘要:

Generalizing Culler and Vogtmann's Outer Space for the free group, Guirardel and Levitt construct an Outer Space for a free product of groups. We completely characterize when this space (or really its simplicial spine) supports an equivariant piecewise-Euclidean or piecewise-hyperbolic CAT(0) metric. Our results are mostly negative, extending thesis work of Bridson and related to thesis work of Cunningham. In particular, provided the dimension of the spine is at least three, it is never CAT(0). Surprisingly, we exhibit one family of free products for which the Outer Space is two-dimensional and does support an equivariant CAT(0) metric.
