Recently Gambaudo and Ghys proved that there exist infinitely many quasi-morphisms on the group ${\rm Diff}_\Omega^\infty (D^2, \partial D^2)$ of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-disk $D^2$. For the proof, they constructed a…

Let M be a smooth compact connected oriented manifold of dimension at least two endowed with a volume form. Assuming certain conditions on the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ we construct quasi-isometric embeddings of either free Abelian or…

We study relations between maps between relatively hyperbolic groups/spaces and quasisymmetric embeddings between their boundaries. More specifically, we establish a correspondence between (not necessarily coarsely surjective)…

In the spirit of peripheral subgroups in relatively hyperbolic groups, we exhibit a simple class of quasi-isometrically rigid subgroups in graph products of finite groups, which we call eccentric subgroups. As an application, we prove that,…

We show that non-abelian two-generator subgroups of right-angled Artin groups are quasi-isometrically embedded free groups. This provides an alternate proof of a theorem of A. Baudisch: that all two-generator subgroups are free or free…

We prove the equivalence between a relative bottleneck property and being quasi-isometric to a tree-graded space. As a consequence, we deduce that the quasi-trees of spaces defined axiomatically by Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara are…

We study the large-scale geometry of graph braid groups $\mathbb{B}_n(\mathsf{\Gamma})$, viewed as the fundamental groups of discrete configuration spaces $UD_n(\mathsf{\Gamma})$, which are special cube complexes in the sense of…

We give technical conditions for a quasi-isometry of pairs to preserve a subgroup being hyperbolically embedded. We consider applications to the quasi-isometry and commensurability invariance of acylindrical hyperbolicity of finitely…

We show that certain groups of diffeomorphisms and PL-homeomorphisms embed in the group of all quasi-isometries of the Euclidean spaces.

We introduce the class of extended admissible groups, which include both fundamental groups of non-geometric 3-manifolds and Croke-Kleiner admissible groups. We show that the class of extended admissible groups is quasi-isometrically rigid.

We study a more general version of the gluings of hyperbolic orbifolds in the spirit of Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro, where the gluing pieces, called the building blocks, are no longer assumed to be arithmetic or incommensurable. We prove…

We introduce a graph-theoretic condition, called $(n,m)$--branching, that ensures a combinatorial round tree with controlled branching parameters can be quasi-isometrically embedded in the Davis complex of the right-angled Coxeter group…

We compute the relative divergence and the subgroup distortion of Bestvina-Brady subgroups. We also show that for each integer $n\geq 3$, there is a free subgroup of rank $n$ of some right-angled Artin group whose inclusion is not a…

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 show that quasi-projective Bestvina-Brady groups are fundamental groups of complements to hyperplane arrangements. Furthermore we relate other normal subgroups of right-angled Artin groups to complements to arrangements of hypersurfaces.…

In every dimension $n\ge 3$ we introduce a class of orthogonal graph-manifolds and prove that the fundamental group of any orthogonal graph-manifold quasi-isometrically embeds into a product of $n$ trees. As a consequence, we obtain that…

This (quasi-)survey addresses the quasi-isometry classification of locally compact groups, with an emphasis on amenable hyperbolic locally compact groups. This encompasses the problem of quasi-isometry classification of homogeneous…

Classifying groups up to quasi-isometry is a fundamental problem in geometric group theory. In the context of hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups, one of the key invariants in this classification is the boundary at infinity. F.…

Even Artin groups generalize right-angled Artin groups by allowing the labels in the defining graph to be even. In this paper a complete characterization of quasi-projective even Artin groups is given in terms of their defining graphs.…

Let \Sigma_g be a closed orientable surface let Diff_0(\Sigma_g; area) be the identity component of the group of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of \Sigma_g. In this work we present an extension of Gambaudo-Ghys construction to the case of…
