The rigidity of some finite group actions on CAT($κ$) spaces

In this paper, we first prove the optimal lower bound for Alexandrov angle rigidity of torsion elliptic isometries on any complete CAT($κ$) space, which, when attained, leads to an embedded 2-flat in the tangent cone invariant under the induced action of the isometry. Next, we will prove similar result for action of symmetry groups of either a regular orthoplex, a regular hypercube, a regular dodecahedron or a regular icosahedron on a set of points in any complete CAT($κ$) space in a way corresponds to the set of vertices of the polytope, the angle made at the circumcenter by any pair of points corresponding to an edge is bounded below by that of the edge in the polytope. As a result, we give a condition for the convex hull of the set of points to be isometric to a corresponding regular polytope in a model space of constant curvature $κ$.

CAT(0) spaces with boundary the join of two Cantor sets

We will show that if a proper complete CAT(0) space X has a visual boundary homeomorphic to the join of two Cantor sets, and X admits a geometric group action by a group containing a subgroup isomorphic to Z^2, then its Tits boundary is the spherical join of two uncountable discrete sets. If X is geodesically complete, then X is a product, and the group has a finite index subgroup isomorphic to a lattice in the product of two isometry groups of bounded valence bushy trees.
