Abstract
We show that every –quasiflat in an –dimensional cube complex is at finite Hausdorff distance from a finite union of –dimensional orthants. Then we introduce a class of cube complexes, called weakly special cube complexes, and show that quasi-isometries between their universal covers preserve top-dimensional flats. This is the foundational result towards the quasi-isometric classification of right-angled Artin groups with finite outer automorphism group.
Some of our arguments also extend to spaces of finite geometric dimension. In particular, we give a short proof of the fact that a top-dimensional quasiflat in a Euclidean building is Hausdorff close to a finite union of Weyl cones, which was previously established by Kleiner and Leeb (1997), Eskin and Farb (1997) and Wortman (2006) by different methods.
