Abstract

We prove that an IRS of a group with a geometrically dense action on a CAT(0) space also acts geometrically densely; assuming the space is either of finite telescopic dimension or locally compact with finite dimensional Tits boundary. This can be thought of as a Borel density theorem for IRSs.

Notes

  1. The result is stated for proper CAT(0) spaces of finite dimension but the finite dimension assumption is used only for the boundary and not for the space itself.
