Abstract: Since their introduction by Thurston, geodesic laminations on hyperbolic surfaces occur in many contexts. In this paper, we propose a generalization of geodesic laminations on locally CAT(0), complete, geodesic metric spaces, whose boundary at infinity of the universal cover is endowed with a invariant total cyclic order. Then we study these new objects on surfaces endowed with flat structures and on finite metric graphs. The main result of the paper is a theorem of classification of geodesic laminations on a compact surface endowed with a flat structure. We also show that every finite metric graph, except four, is the support of a geodesic lamination with uncountably many leaves none of whose is eventually periodic.

Review text

The author proposes a generalization of geodesic laminations on locally CAT(0), complete, geodesic metric spaces, whose boundary at infinity of the universal cover is endowed with an invariant total cyclic order. He studies the properties of leaves and minimal sets in this context. The main result of the paper is a classification theorem of geodesic laminations on a compact surface endowed with a half-translation structure.
