Examples of hyperbolic spaces without the properties of quasi-ball or bounded eccentricity

Abstract

In this note, we present examples of non-quasi-geodesic metric spaces which are hyperbolic (i.e., satisfying the Gromov's $4$-point condition) while the intersection of any two metric balls therein does not either "look like" a ball or has uniformly bounded eccentricity. This answers an open question posed in [2].
