Popis: We prove that for every r > 0 r>0 if a nonpositively curved ( p , q ) (p,q) -map M M contains no flat submaps of radius r r , then the area of M M does not exceed C r n Crn for some constant C C . This strengthens a theorem of Ivanov and Schupp. We show that an infinite ( p , q ) (p,q) -map which tessellates the plane is quasi-isometric to the Euclidean plane if and only if the map contains only finitely many nonflat vertices and faces. We also generalize Ivanov and Schupp’s result to a much larger class of maps, namely to maps with angle functions.
