Geodesic bicombing

In metric geometry, a geodesic bicombing distinguishes a class of geodesics of a metric space. The study of metric spaces with distinguished geodesics traces back to the work of the mathematician Herbert Busemann. The convention to call a collection of paths of a metric space bicombing is due to William Thurston. By imposing a weak global non-positive curvature condition on a geodesic bicombing several results from the theory of CAT(0) spaces and Banach space theory may be recovered in a more general setting.

Urs Lang (2/3/23): Combinatorial dimension and higher-rank hyperbolicity

Dress characterized metric spaces of combinatorial dimension at most n in terms of a 2(n+1)-point inequality. We investigate a relaxed version of this inequality, which in the case n = 1 reduces to Gromov's quadruple definition of δ-hyperbolicity and which we experimentally call (n,δ)-hype
