Abstract

This paper focuses on the geometric properties of quasihyperbolic geodesics in centered John metric spaces. Our contribution is to provide a necessary and sufficient condition in centered John spaces such that quasihyperbolic geodesics terminating at the center to be cone arcs. As an application, we prove that for a centered John space which carries a Gromov hyperbolic quasihyperbolization, every quasihyperbolic geodesic terminating at the center is a cone arc.
