Based on a notion by Gray and Kambites of hyperbolicity in the setting of semimetric spaces like digraphs or semigroups, we will construct (under a small additional geometric assumption) a boundary based on quasi-geodesic rays and anti-rays…

In this note, we study non-transitive graphs and prove a number of results when they satisfy a coarse version of transitivity. Also, for each finitely generated group $G$, we produce continuum many pairwise non-quasi-isometric regular…

We give upper and lower bounds on the conformal dimension of the Bowditch boundary of a Coxeter group with defining graph a complete graph and edge labels at least three. The lower bounds are obtained by quasi-isometrically embedding…

We consider groups $\mathbb{I}$ of isometries of ultrametric Urysohn spaces $\mathbb{U}$. Such spaces $\mathbb{U}$ admit transparent realizations as boundaries of certain $R$-trees and the groups $\mathbb{I}$ are groups of automorphisms of…

We interpret the property of having an infinitesimal symmetry as a variational property in certain geometric structures. This is achieved by establishing a one-to-one correspondence between a class of cone structures with an infinitesimal…

We prove that every locally finite, quasi-transitive graph with a thick end whose cycle space is generated by cycles of bounded length contains the full-grid as an asymptotic minor and as a diverging minor. This in particular includes all…

We study the quasi-isometric rigidity of a large family of finitely generated groups that split as graphs of groups with virtually free vertex groups and two-ended edge groups. Let $G$ be a group that is one-ended, hyperbolic relative to…

We analyze the interplay between labeled trees and the ultrametric spaces they present. We provide characterizations of labeled trees that generate separable ultrametric spaces and those that generate locally finite ultrametric spaces. In…

We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…

We use the language of proper CAT(-1) spaces to study thick, locally compact trees, the real, complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces and the hyperbolic plane over the octonions. These are rank 1 Euclidean buildings, respectively rank 1…

We use geometric measure theory to introduce the notion of asymptotic cones associated with a singular subspace of a Riemannian manifold. This extends the classical notion of asymptotic directions usually defined on smooth submanifolds. We…

We combine conditions found in [Wh] with results from [MPR] to show that quasi-isometries between uniformly discrete bounded geometry spaces that satisfy linear isoperimetric inequalities are within bounded distance to bilipschitz…

We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…

We introduce and geometrically characterize the notion of uniformly perfect Morse boundary for proper geodesic metric spaces. As a unifying result, we prove that the Morse boundary of any finitely generated, non-elementary group is…

We develop a theory of large scale geometry of metrisable topological groups that, in a significant number of cases, allows one to define and identify a unique quasi-isometry type intrinsic to the topological group. Moreover, this…

Given a 2-manifold, a fundamental question to ask is which groups can be realized as the isometry group of a Riemannan metric of constant curvature on the manifold. In this paper, we give a nearly complete classification of such groups for…

We prove that if a proper metric space is quasi-isometric to a finitely generated group and to a space with a horoball over a finitely generated group, then that space is quasi-isometric to a rank-one symmetric space or the real line.
