Abstract: The concept of Gromov hyperbolicity manifests itself in many different ways. With only mild assumptions on the underlying metric space, the spectrum of equivalent properties includes various thin triangle conditions, the stability of quasi-geodesics (the Morse lemma), a linear isoperimetric inequality for 1-cycles, and a sub-quadratic isoperimetric inequality. We present a similar list of six equivalent properties in the context of generalized non-positive curvature and higher asymptotic rank. This complements results of Wenger and of Kleiner and the second author. We give a largely self-contained proof, providing some improvements and simplifications for the known part.

Review text

Gromov hyperbolicity can be seen as a natural generalization of the concept of a simply connected manifold with negative curvature in the quasi-isometric setting. Analogous to that, this article provides a quasi-isometric generalization of the notion of simply connected manifolds with non-positive curvature. Just like the case of Gromov hyperbolicity, this notion can be characterized via isoperimetric inequalities, slim simplex properties, the Morse lemma and bounded filling radius. The article shows that these characterizations are all equivalent. One of the equivalences, namely the implication from bounded rank to a linear isoperimetric inequality, was a long standing open problem.
