Projection complexes and quasimedian maps

Abstract

We use the projection complex machinery of Bestvina, Bromberg, and Fujiwara to study hierarchically hyperbolic groups. In particular, we show that if the group has a BBF colouring and its associated hyperbolic spaces are quasiisometric to trees, then the group is quasiisometric to a finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex. We deduce various properties, including the Helly property for hierarchically quasiconvex subsets.
