Commensurability and quasi-isometric classification of hyperbolic surface group amalgams

چکیده
Let CS denote the class of groups isomorphic to the fundamental group of two closed hyperbolic surfaces identified along an essential simple closed curve in each. We construct a bi-Lipschitz map between the universal covers of these spaces equipped with a CAT(−1) metric, proving all groups in CS are quasi-isometric. The class CS has infinitely many abstract commensurability classes, which we characterize in terms of the ratio of the Euler characteristic of the two surfaces and the topological type of the curves identified. We characterize the groups in CS that contain a maximal element in their abstract commensurability class restricted to CS .

Commensurability of hyperbolic manifolds with geodesic boundary
Suppose n > 3, let M1,M2 be n-dimensional connected complete finitevolume hyperbolic manifolds with non-empty geodesic boundary, and suppose that π1(M1) is quasi-isometric to π1(M2) (with respect to the word metric). Also suppose that if n = 3, then ∂M1 and ∂M2 are compact. We show that M1 is commensurable with M2. Moreover, we show that there exist homotopically equivalent hyperbolic 3-manifol...
متن کاملQuasi-isometric Classification of Graph Manifolds Groups
We show that the fundamental groups of any two closed irreducible non-geometric graph-manifolds are quasi-isometric. This answers a question of Kapovich and Leeb. We also classify the quasi-isometry types of fundamental groups of graph-manifolds with boundary in terms of certain finite two-colored graphs. A corollary is a quasi-isometry classification of Artin groups whose presentation graphs a...
متن کاملQuasi-isometry Classification of Certain Right-angled Coxeter Groups
We investigate the quasi-isometry classification of the right-angled Coxeter groups WΓ which are 1-ended and have triangle-free defining graph Γ. We begin by characterising those WΓ which split over 2-ended subgroups, and those which are cocompact Fuchsian, in terms of properties of Γ. This allows us to apply a theorem of Papasoglu [21] to distinguish several quasi-isometry classes. We then car...
متن کاملQuasi-isometrically Embedded Subgroups of Braid and Diffeomorphism Groups
We show that a large class of right-angled Artin groups (in particular, those with planar complementary defining graph) can be embedded quasi-isometrically in pure braid groups and in the group Diff(D2, ∂D2, vol) of area preserving diffeomorphisms of the disk fixing the boundary (with respect to the L2-norm metric); this extends results of Benaim and Gambaudo who gave quasi-isometric embeddings...
متن کاملThe geometry of surface-by-free groups
We show that every word hyperbolic, surface-by-(noncyclic) free group Γ is as rigid as possible: the quasi-isometry group of Γ equals the abstract commensurator group Comm(Γ), which in turn contains Γ as a finite index subgroup. As a corollary, two such groups are quasi-isometric if and only if they are commensurable, and any finitely generated group quasi-isometric to Γ must be weakly commensu...
