Geometry of Satake and toroidal compactifications

In [JM02, section 14], Ji and MacPherson give new constructions of the Borel--Serre and reductive Borel--Serre compactifications [BS73, Zuc82] of a locally symmetric space. They use equivalence classes of eventually distance minimizing (EDM) rays to describe the boundaries of these compactications....
