Gromov's random monsters do not act non-elementarily on hyperbolic spaces

Group Theory 2017-05-30 v1

Abstract

We show that Gromov's monster groups arising from i.i.d. labelings of expander graphs do not admit non-elementary actions on geodesic hyperbolic spaces. The proof relies on comparing properties of random walks on randomly labeled graphs and on groups acting non-elementarily on hyperbolic spaces.
