Finiteness properties and CAT(0) groups

In this thesis, we explore several areas of geometric topology. We first prove that all groups G which fit into a short exact sequence F<sub>2</sub> → G → Z, act properly, freely, cellularly and cocompactly on CAT(0) square complexes. This shows, among other things, that their cubical di...
