| contents | We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of compatibility possible with the median geometry. Our theorem is also relevant for potential Rips-type theorems for median spaces. The result follows from an analysis of a quasification of median geometry that provides a geometric characterization of spaces at finite Hausdorff distance from a median space. We explain how the case of complex hyperbolic metric spaces is different, and that such spaces cannot be at finite Hausdorff distance from a median space. |
