Gromov hyperbolicity I: the dimension-free Gehring-Hayman inequality for quasigeodesics

This paper establishes a dimension-free Gehring-Hayman inequality for quasigeodesics in infinite-dimensional spaces by developing a new approach that relaxes previous constraints on geodesics and quasiconformal equivalence, thereby affirmatively resolving a long-standing open problem regarding the relationship between uniformity and Gromov hyperbolicity in Banach spaces.
