Coarse differentiation of quasi-isometries II: Rigidity for Sol and Lamplighter groups
This paper continues the work announced in [EFW1] and begun in [EFW2]. For a more detailed introduction, we refer the reader to those papers. As discussed in those papers, all our theorems stated above are proved using a new technique, which we call coarse differentiation. Even though quasi-isometries have no local structure and conventional derivatives do not make sense, we essentially constru...
متن کاملQuasi-isometries and Rigidity of Solvable Groups
In this note, we announce the first results on quasi-isometric rigidity of non-nilpotent polycyclic groups. In particular, we prove that any group quasiisometric to the three dimenionsional solvable Lie group Sol is virtually a lattice in Sol. We prove analogous results for groups quasi-isometric to R⋉Rn where the semidirect product is defined by a diagonalizable matrix of determinant one with ...
متن کاملCoarse differentiation and quasi-isometries of a class of solvable Lie groups I
This is the first of two papers (the other one being [P]) which aim to understand quasiisometries of a subclass of unimodular split solvable Lie groups. In the present paper, we show that locally (in a coarse sense), a quasi-isometry between two groups in this subclass is close to a map that respects their group structures.
متن کاملRigidity of quasi-isometries for symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings
for all x ∈ X . Quasi-isometries occur naturally in the study of the geometry of discrete groups since the length spaces on which a given finitely generated group acts cocompactly and properly discontinuously by isometries are quasi-isometric to one another [Gro]. Quasi-isometries also play a crucial role in Mostow’s proof of his rigidity theorem: the theorem is proved by showing that equivaria...
متن کاملCoarse differentiation of quasi-isometries I: spaces not quasi-isometric to Cayley graphs
In this paper, we prove that certain spaces are not quasi-isometric to Cayley graphs of finitely generated groups. In particular, we answer a question of Woess and prove a conjecture of Diestel and Leader by showing that certain homogeneous graphs are not quasi-isometric to a Cayley graph of a finitely generated group. This paper is the first in a sequence of papers proving results announced in...
