Our approach is to adapt the methods of Sela and others for word-hyperbolic groups to this context of non-positive curvature. The main result in this paper is that (under certain technical hypotheses) such a group as above is Hopfian. This (mostly) answers a question of Sela.38 pagesGroup Theory20F65, 20F67, 20E08, 57M07Limits of (certain) CAT(0) groups, II: The Hopf property and the shortening argumenttext
