| Dec 19, 2012 at 3:05 | comment | added | some guy on the street | @Jim: what I mean is, this is the sort of picky question that I'm sure, if settled, was only done recently and I furthermore don't know who would write about it, nor what keywords to put into mathscinet/arxiv/google scholar search etc. Eight years ago or so my first move would have been to ask Dani Wise, just because he taught me about Gromov hyperbolic groups and the Rips complex, but he's not handy right now and I can't get to a library. | |

| Dec 17, 2012 at 14:36 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | By the way, "I don't know how to look for the answer" suggests a serious obstruction to studying current mathematics. It's not helpful to re-invent the wheel too many times, so you need to develop skills in searching old and new liteature (arXiv included) along with identifying specific people who can provide shortcuts to answers. Traditionally graduate work is supposed to organize this whole complicated process. | |
