 I will discuss 
 recent joint work with Lewis Bowen and Frank 
 Lin. In it, we consider a natural metric satisfying 
 the CAT(0) condition (a certain natural 
 negative curvature condition) on a space of 
 operators affiliated to a tracial von Neumann 
 algebra (a version of this space appeared 
 in previous work of Andruchow-Larotonda). We 
 also investigate how the geometric properties 
 of this CAT(0) space reflect algebraic/analytic 
 properties of the underlying von Neumann 
 algebra.\n\n
