Global fixed points for actions on CAT(0) spaces
by
Angela Barnhill
The Ohio State University

A group G has Farb's property FAn if every action of G on every CAT(0) n-complex has a global fixed point. This is a generalization of Serre's property FA with applications to representation theory and to the study of complex of groups decompositions. We will consider many examples.
