Proper actions on finite products of quasi-trees

Group Theory 2020-10-15 v2

Abstract

We say that a finitely generated group GG has property (QT) if it acts isometrically on a finite product of quasi-trees so that orbit maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. A quasi-tree is a connected graph with path metric quasi-isometric to a tree, and product spaces are equipped with the 1\ell^1-metric. As an application of the projection complex techniques, we prove that residually finite hyperbolic groups and mapping class groups have (QT).
