From branching quasiflats to flats in CAT(0) cube complexes

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We study quasiisometric embeddings between finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complexes. More specifically, we introduce geometric branching conditions under which flats in the domain, not necessarily of top rank, are mapped within finite Hausdorff distance of flats. As a consequence, one obtains embeddings between natural graphs associated with the Tits boundaries of those cube complexes. These results form a key step in understanding quasiisometric embeddings between right-angled Artin groups. In an appendix, we also explain how the same methods recover previously established rigidity results for quasiisometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings of the same spherical type.
