Embedding relatively hyperbolic groups into products of binary trees

Abstract

We prove that if a group GG is relatively hyperbolic with respect to virtually abelian peripheral subgroups then GG quasiisometrically embeds into a product of binary trees. This extends the result of Buyalo, Dranishnikov and Schroeder in which they prove that a hyperbolic group quasiisometrically embeds into a product of binary trees. Inspired by Buyalo, Dranishnikov and Schroeder's Alice's Diary, we develop a general theory of diaries and linear statistics. These notions provide a framework by which one can take a quasiisometric embedding of a metric space into a product of infinite-valence trees and upgrade it to a quasiisometric embedding into a product of binary trees.
