چکیده

We study rigidity properties of lattices in Isom(H) SOn,1(R), n ≥ 3, and of surface groups in Isom(H2) SL2(R) in the context of integrable measure equivalence. The results for lattices in Isom(H), n ≥ 3, are generalizations of Mostow rigidity; they include a cocycle version of strong rigidity and an integrable measure equivalence classification. Despite the lack of Mostow rigidity for n = 2 we show that cocompact lattices in Isom(H2) allow a similar integrable measure equivalence classification.

Ideal Bicombings for Hyperbolic Groups and Applications

For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant which implies that several Measure Equivalence and Orbit Equivalence rigidity results established in [MSb] hold for all non-elementary hyperbolic groups and thei...

We then construct a cohomological invariant which implies that several Measure Equivalence and Orbit Equivalence rigidity results established in [26] hold for all non-elementary hyperbolic groups and their non-elementary subgroups. For any subgroup Γ o...

Gromov ’ s measure equivalence and rigidity of higher rank lattices

In this paper the notion of Measure Equivalence (ME) of countable groups is studied. ME was introduced by Gromov as a measure-theoretic analog of quasi-isometries. All lattices in the same locally compact group are Measure Equivalent; this is one of the motivations for this notion. The main result of this paper is ME rigidity of higher rank lattices: any countable group which is ME to a lattice...

Efficient Subdivision in Hyperbolic Groups and Applications

We identify the images of the comparision maps from ordinary homology and Sobolev homology, respectively, to the `1-homology of a wordhyperbolic group with coefficients in complete normed modules. The underlying idea is that there is a subdivision procedure for singular chains in negatively curved spaces that is much more efficient (in terms of the `1-norm) than barycentric subdivision. The res...
