Divergence functions in hyperbolic groups

Gromov hyperbolicity has many characterizations, one of them being the existence of a super-linear divergence function, see definition below. We note that in $\mathbb{R}^2$ there is no divergence ...

Definition of the category QMet of metric spaces and quasi-isometries

I am following Clara Löh's Geometric Group Theory. An Introduction, and in remark 5.1.12, she defines the category QMet whose objects are metric spaces and whose morphisms are quasi-isometric ...

Sufficient conditions for the Besicovitch covering theorem to hold on groups of polynomial growth

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group with symmetric generating set $S$. Then $S$ induces a distance $d$ on $G$ by letting $d(a,b) = $ the minimum $n$ such that there are generators $s_1,...,s_n$ with ...

For which classes of metric spaces can we prove that quasi-isometry is an equivalence relation in ZF?

Given two metric spaces $(M_1, d_1)$ and $(M_2, d_2)$, a map $\phi \colon (M_1, d_1) \to (M_2, d_2)$ is a large-scale Lipschitz essentially surjective map if there exist constants $A \geq 1, B \geq 0$,...
