Ballmann’s higher rank rigidity conjecture stands as a central problem in the study of CAT spaces. It asserts that locally compact, geodesically complete CAT spaces of higher rank admitting a geometric group action are isometric to one of three higher rank model geometries – Riemannian symmetric spaces, Euclidean buildings and metric products. In this talk, I will present recent results providing a novel characterization of these higher rank model geometries through the lens of affine maps. I will recall the necessary notions and will sketch the key ideas of the proof.

This talk is part of the Junior Geometry Seminar series.
