Abstract

This paper presents explicit constructions of universal ℝ-trees as certain spaces of functions, and also proves that a 2ℵ0-universal ℝ-tree can be isometrically embedded at infinity into a complete simply connected manifold of negative curvature, or into a non-abelian free group. In contrast to asymptotic cone constructions, asymptotic spaces are built without using the axiom of choice.
