Abstract

The talk will begin with a brief history of CAT(0) geometry, including some long-standing open problems.  Then I will discuss more recent developments and areas of current interest, including the theory of CAT(0) cube complexes and the interplay between CAT(0) geometry and hyperbolic geometry
