CAT(0) cube complexes are determined by their boundary cross ratio

Abstract

We introduce a $\mathbb{Z}$-valued cross ratio on Roller boundaries of CAT(0) cube complexes. We motivate its relevance by showing that every cross-ratio preserving bijection of Roller boundaries uniquely extends to a cubical isomorphism. Our results are strikingly general and even apply to infinite dimensional, locally infinite cube complexes with trivial automorphism group.
