On the geodesic flow on CAT(0) spaces

Under certain assumptions on CAT(0) spaces, we show that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing. In particular, the Bowen–Margulis’ measure finiteness assumption used by Ricks [Flat strips, Bowen–Margulis measures, and mixing of the geodesic flow for rank one CAT(0) spaces. Ergod.

Description
Summary:Under certain assumptions on CAT(0) spaces, we show that the geodesic flow is topologically mixing. In particular, the Bowen–Margulis’ measure finiteness assumption used by Ricks [Flat strips, Bowen–Margulis measures, and mixing of the geodesic flow for rank one CAT(0) spaces. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys. 37 (2017), 939–970] is removed. We also construct examples of CAT(0) spaces that do not admit finite Bowen–Margulis measure.
