Relatively hyperbolic groups: geometry and quasi-isometric invariance
In this paper it is proved that relative hyperbolicity is an invariant of quasi-isometry. As a byproduct we provide simplified definitions of relative hyperbolicity in terms of the geometry of a Cayley graph. In particular we obtain a definition very similar to the one of hyperbolicity, relying on the existence for every quasi-geodesic triangle of a central left coset of peripheral subgroup.
متن کاملBounded geometry in relatively hyperbolic groups
If a group is relatively hyperbolic, the parabolic subgroups are virtually nilpotent if and only if there exists a hyperbolic space with bounded geometry on which it acts geometrically finitely. This provides, via the embedding theorem of M. Bonk and O. Schramm, a very short proof of the finiteness of asymptotic dimension for such groups (which is known to imply Novikov conjectures).
متن کاملGroups Quasi-isometric to Complex Hyperbolic Space
We show that any finitely generated group quasi-isometric to complex hyperbolic space is a finite extension of a properly discontinuous, cocompact subgroup of the isometry group.

متن کاملRelatively hyperbolic Groups
In this paper we develop some of the foundations of the theory of relatively hyperbolic groups as originally formulated by Gromov. We prove the equivalence of two definitions of this notion. One is essentially that of a group admitting a properly discontinuous geometrically finite action on a proper hyperbolic space, that is, such that every limit point is either a conical limit point or a boun...
