Nairne" ], "comment": "Comments very welcome", "categories": [ "math.GR" ], "abstract": "We prove that if a group $G$ is relatively hyperbolic with respect to virtually abelian peripheral subgroups then $G$ 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. To prove the main result, we use the machinery of projection complexes and quasi-trees of metric spaces developed by Bestvina, Bromberg, Fujiwara and Sisto. We build on this theory by proving that one can remove certain edges from the quasi-tree of metric spaces, and be left with a tree of metric spaces which is quasiisometric to the quasi-tree of metric spaces. In particular, this reproves a result of Hume. Further, 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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-03T13:29:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "20F67", "51F30", "68R15", "30L05" ], "keywords": [ "embedding relatively hyperbolic groups", "binary trees", "metric space", "virtually abelian peripheral subgroups", "hyperbolic group quasiisometrically embeds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
