We introduce the notion of weakly systolic complexes and groups, and initiate regular studies of them. Those are simplicial complexes with nonpositive-curvature-like properties and groups acting on them geometrically. We characterize weakly systolic complexes as simply connected simplicial complexes satisfying some local combinatorial conditions. We provide several classes of examples --- in particular systolic groups and CAT(-1) cubical groups are weakly systolic. We present applications of the theory, concerning Gromov hyperbolic groups, Coxeter groups and systolic groups.

  1. Solving Approximate Agreement on continuous and discrete spaces

    cs.DC 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    ε-agreement is solvable in every CUB space, and simplex agreement on a simplicial complex C is solvable for n+1 processes iff C is (n-1)-connected.

  2. Weak rank rigidity for groups with a navigable path system

    math.GR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Groups with navigable path systems satisfy weak rank rigidity and the Morse local-to-global property, proved uniformly via a new generalised contraction space.
