Quasi-circles through prescribed points

Metric Geometry 2018-12-13 v2

Abstract

We show that in an L-annularly linearly connected, N-doubling, complete metric space, any n points lie on a K-quasi-circle, where K depends only on L, N and n. This implies, for example, that if G is a hyperbolic group that does not split over any virtually cyclic subgroup, then any geodesic line in G lies in a quasi-isometrically embedded copy of the hyperbolic plane.
