• Resumen

  • We study the fixed point set in the ideal boundary of a parabolic isometry of a proper CAT(0)-space. We show that the radius of the fixed point set is at most $\pi/2$, and study its centers. As a consequence, we prove that the set of fixed points is contractible with respect to the Tits topology.
