A note on locally elliptic actions on cube complexes

Nils Leder and Olga Varghese

Vol. 18 (2020), No. 1, 1–6
Abstract

We deduce from Sageev’s results that whenever a group acts locally elliptically on a finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex, then it must fix a point. As an application, we partially prove a conjecture by Marquis concerning actions on buildings and we give an example of a group G such that G does not have property (T), but G and all its finitely generated subgroups can not act without a fixed point on a finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex, answering a question by Barnhill and Chatterji.

Keywords
