Translation-like actions yield regular maps

Dynamical Systems 2017-03-29 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

For finitely generated groups HH and GG, we observe that HH admits a translation-like action on GG implies there is a regular map, which was introduced in Benjamini, Schramm and Tim\'{a}r's joint paper, from HH to GG. Combining with several known obstructions to the existence of regular maps, we have various applications. For example, we show that the Baumslag-Solitar groups do not admit translation-like actions on the classical lamplighter group.
