چکیده
If G is either a connected Lie group, or a finitely generated solvable group with exponential growth, we show that G contains a quasi-isometrically embedded free sub-semigroup on 2 generators.

Quasi-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 کاملLarge-scale Rank and Rigidity of the Weil-petersson Metric
We study the large-scale geometry of Weil-Petersson space, that is, Teichmüller space equipped with the Weil-Petersson metric. We show that this admits a natural coarse median structure of a specific rank. Given that this is equal to the maximal dimension of a quasi-isometrically embedded euclidean space, we recover a result of Eskin Masur and Rafi which gives the coarse rank of the space. We g...
متن کاملGeometric quasi-isometric embeddings into Thompson's group F
We use geometric techniques to investigate several examples of quasi-isometrically embedded subgroups of Thompson’s group F . Many of these are explored using the metric properties of the shift map φ in F . These subgroups have simple geometric but complicated algebraic descriptions. We present them to illustrate the intricate geometry of Thompson’s group F as well as the interplay between its ...
متن کاملCyclic Subgroups are Quasi-isometrically Embedded in the Thompson-Stein Groups
We give criteria for determining the approximate length of elements in any given cyclic subgroup of the Thompson-Stein groups F (n1, ..., nk) such that n1 − 1|ni − 1 ∀i ∈ {1, ..., k} in terms of the number of leaves in the minimal tree-pair diagram representative. This leads directly to the result that cyclic subgroups are quasi-isometrically embedded in the ThompsonStein groups. This result al...
متن کاملThe geometry of right angled Artin subgroups of mapping class groups
We describe sufficient conditions which guarantee that a finite set of mapping classes generate a right-angled Artin group quasi-isometrically embedded in the mapping class group. Moreover, under these conditions, the orbit map to Teichmüller space is a quasiisometric embedding for both of the standard metrics. As a consequence, we produce infinitely many genus h surfaces (for any h at least 2)...
