Coarse structures on groups defined by conjugations

Abstract

For a group GG, we denote by G\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{G} the coarse space on GG endowed with the coarse structure with the base {{(x,y)G×G:yxF}:F[G]<ω}\{\{ (x,y)\in G\times G: y\in x^F \} : F \in [G]^{<\omega} \}, xF={z1xz:zF}x^F = \{z^{-1} xz : z\in F \}. Our goal is to explore interplays between algebraic properties of GG and asymptotic properties of G\stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{G}. In particular, we show that asdim G=0asdim \ \stackrel{\leftrightarrow}{G} = 0 if and only if G/ZGG / Z_G is locally finite, ZGZ_G is the center of GG. For an infinite group GG, the coarse space of subgroups of GG is discrete if and only if GG is a Dedekind group.
