Does the Alexandrov angle define convex functions along geodesics in CAT(0) spaces?
Let $X$ be a CAT(0) space and suppose $a,b,c,d\in X$ satisfy
$$
\max\{\angle_a(b,c),\angle_a(b,d)\}<\frac{\pi}{2}.
$$
Let $\gamma:[0,\ell]\to X$ be the geodesic with $\gamma(0)=c$ and $\gamma(\ell)...

Nested convex hulls in Hadamard manifold
Let $F$ be a finite set in a Hadamard manifold $H$, and $W\supset F$ is its neighborhood.
Is it true that the closure of the convex hull of $F$ lies in the interior of the convex hull of $W$?

Convex hulls of quasi-convex sets in proper CAT(0) spaces
Let $A$ be a quasi-convex set in some proper CAT(0) space, $X$, and let $\mbox{Hull}(A)$ be the intersection of all convex sets containing A. Can we conclude that $\mbox{Hull}(A)$ is in some bounded ...

Amalgamated product acting on CAT(0) cube complex
I was reading the following result from the book Metric spaces of non-positive curvature by Bridson and Haefliger.
Result:
Let $F_0,F_1$ and $H$ be groups acting properly
by isometries on complete $...

Does every CAT(0) space embed in a measurable integral of $\mathbb{R}$-trees?
Question 1. Does every CAT(0) space embed isometrically inside an integral of $\mathbb{R}$-trees?
Here an integral of $\mathbb{R}$ trees means the set of functions from a measure space $\mathcal{F}$ ...

Is the center of gravity in a CAT(0) space contained in the convex hull?
In reading Greg Kuperberg's partial answer to this question Convex hull in CAT(0) ,
I started wondering if the center of gravity is always contained in the closed convex hull.
More precisely, given $...

Fourier analysis for the discrete cube in CAT(0) spaces?
Is there a meaningful Fourier analysis of mappings from the discrete cube into CAT(0) spaces?
Examples for what I have in mind:
Fix a CAT(0) space $X$, a mapping $f:\{-1,1\}^n \to X$, and $\...

Embedding expanders in CAT(0) spaces
It is well-known that expanders are hard to embed into Hilbert (or $\ell^p$) spaces - any embedding of an expander with $n$ vertices has distortion $\Omega(\log n)$.
Can anyone provide a reference (...
