Periodic flats in $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ cube complexes

Michah Sageev and Daniel T Wise

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 11 (2011) 1793–1820
Abstract

We show that the flat closing conjecture is true for groups acting properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex when the action satisfies the cyclic facing triple property. For instance, this property holds for fundamental groups of 3–manifolds that act freely on CAT(0) cube complexes.
