Geodesics between boundary points of a hyperbolic space

Let $X$ be a (not necessarily proper) hyperbolic space. Following Gromov, we define the boundary of $X$ as the set of equivalence classes of sequences convergent at infinity. In general, it is not ...

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $K\subset G$ a compact subgroup. Suppose that on the homogeneous space $X=G/K$ we have a $G$-invariant proper metric $d$. For $R>0$ let $B(R)$ be the open ...

Reference for Varopoulos isoperimetric inequality with multiplicity

The Varopoulos isoperimetric inequality for a bounded domain $D$ in a nilpotent group $\Gamma$ of growth $n$ reads $$ \# D \le \mathrm{const} \cdot (\#\partial D)^{n/(n-1)} $$ See Ch. 6.E+ in Gromov's ...
