In the paper under review, the authors consider the case of the product of two proper \(\mathrm{CAT}(-1)\) spaces, which is a \(\mathrm{CAT}(0)\) space (see [\textit{S. Geninska}, Geom. Dedicata 182, 81--94 (2016; Zbl 1351.22007); \textit{G. Link}, Geom. Topol. 14, No. 2, 1063--1094 (2010; Zbl 1273.20040)]). They show that for \(X\) a proper \(\mathrm{CAT}(-1)\) space there is a maximal open subset of the horofunction compactification of \(X\times X\), with respect to the maximum metric, that compactifies the diagonal action of an infinite quasi-convex group of the isometries of \(X\). Furthermore, they consider the product action of two quasi-convex representations of an infinite hyperbolic group on the product of two different proper \(\mathrm{CAT}(-1)\) spaces.
