Abstract
Given a finitely generated and a subgraph , the relative number of ends is the number of ends of a Schreier graph and the number of coends is the maximal number of -infinite components of the complement of a neighbourhood of in . Generalising Sageev's characterisation of codimension-one subgroups in terms of actions on CAT(0) cube complexes, we characterise the number of relative ends and the number of coends of a pair in terms of actions on quasi-median graphs.
