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 $W$? ...

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 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)...

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 $...

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 ...

What are the extremal CAT(0) metrics?

(Split off from Does every CAT(0) space embed in a measurable integral of $\mathbb{R}$-trees? ) Fix an integer $k \ge 2$, and let $MC0_k \subset \mathbb{R}^{\binom{k}{2}}$ be the set of possible ...

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 $\mathcal{F}$ ...

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 (...
