英文摘要：

Let G and F be finitely generated groups with infinitely many ends and let A and B be graph of groups decompositions of F and G such that all edge groups are finite and all vertex groups have at most one end. We show that G and F are quasi-isometric if and only if every one-ended vertex group of A is quasi-isometric to some one-ended vertex group of B and every one-ended vertex group of B is quasi-isometric to some one-ended vertex group of A. From our proof it also follows that if G is any finitely generated group, of order at least three, the groups: G*G, G*Z,G*G*G and G* Z/2Z are all quasi-isometric.

Geometry of infinitely generated Veech groups

Veech groups uniformize Teichmüller geodesic curves in Riemann moduli space. Recently, examples of infinitely generated Veech groups have been given. We show that these can even have infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite ends. We further show that examples exist for which each direction of an infinite end is the limit of directions of inequivalent infinite ends.

On the center of the group of quasi-isometries of the real line

Let $QI(\mathbb{R})$ denote the group of all quasi-isometries $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}.$ Let $Q_+( \text{and}~ Q_-)$ denote the subgroup of $QI(\mathbb{R})$ consisting of elements which are identity near $-\infty$ (resp. $+\infty$). We denote by $QI^+(\mathbb R)$ the index $2$ subgroup of $QI(\mathbb R)$ that fixes the ends $+\infty, -\infty$. We show that $QI^+(\mathbb R)\cong Q_+\times Q_-$. Using this we show that the center of the group $QI(\mathbb{R})$ is trivial.

Exotic non-leaves with infinitely many ends

We show that any simply connected topological closed $4$-manifold punctured along any compact, totally disconnected tame subset $Λ$ admits a continuum of smoothings which are not diffeomorphic to any leaf of a $C^{1,0}$ codimension one foliation on a compact manifold. This includes the remarkable case of $S^4$ punctured along a tame Cantor set. This is the lowest reasonable regularity for this realization problem. These results come from a new criterion for nonleaves in $C^{1,0}$ regularity. We also include a new criterion for nonleaves in the $C^2$-category. Some of our smooth nonleaves are "…

Seiberg-Witten Equations and Einstein Metrics on Finite Volume 4-Manifolds with Asymptotically Hyperbolic Ends

We construct infinitely many examples of finite volume 4-manifolds with $T^3$ ends that do not admit any cusped asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein metrics yet satisfy a strict logarithmic version of the Hitchin-Thorpe inequality due to Dai-Wei. This is done by using estimates from Seiberg-Witten theory due to LeBrun as well as a method for constructing solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations on noncompact manifolds due to Biquard. We also use constructions coming from the $Pin^-(2)$ monopole equations to obtain a larger class of manifolds where these techniques apply.

Solvable normal subgroups of 2-knot groups

If $X$ is an orientable, strongly minimal $PD_4$-complex and $π_1(X)$ has one end then it has no nontrivial locally-finite normal subgroup. Hence if $π$ is a 2-knot group then (a) if $π$ is virtually solvable then either $π$ has two ends or $π\congΦ$, with presentation $\langle{a,t}|ta=a^2t\rangle$, or $π$ is torsion-free and polycyclic of Hirsch length 4; (b) either $π$ has two ends, or $π$ has one end and the centre $ζπ$ is torsion-free, or $π$ has infinitely many ends and $ζπ$ is finite; and (c) the Hirsch-Plotkin radical $\sqrtπ$ is nilpotent.

Bounded Cohomology of Finitely Generated Kleinian Groups

Any action of a group $Γ$ on $\mathbb H^3$ by isometries yields a class in degree three bounded cohomology by pulling back the volume cocycle to $Γ$. We prove that the bounded cohomology of finitely generated Kleinian groups without parabolic elements distinguishes the asymptotic geometry of geometrically infinite ends of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds. That is, if two homotopy equivalent hyperbolic manifolds with infinite volume and without parabolic cusps have different geometrically infinite end invariants, then they define a $2$ dimensional subspace of bounded cohomology. Our techniques apply to…

Quasi-isometric groups with no common model geometry

A simple surface amalgam is the union of a finite collection of surfaces with precisely one boundary component each and which have their boundary curves identified. We prove if two fundamental groups of simple surface amalgams act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space, then the groups are commensurable. Consequently, there are infinitely many fundamental groups of simple surface amalgams that are quasi-isometric, but which do not act properly and cocompactly on the same proper geodesic metric space.

Groups not presentable by products

In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and certain geometric and measure or orbit equivalence invariants of groups on the other. This leads to many new examples of groups not presentable by products, including all groups with infinitely many ends, the (outer) automorphism groups of free groups, Thompson's groups, and even some elementary amenable groups.

Isometric endomorphisms of free groups

An arbitrary homomorphism between groups is nonincreasing for stable commutator length, and there are infinitely many (injective) homomorphisms between free groups which strictly decrease the stable commutator length of some elements. However, we show in this paper that a random homomorphism between free groups is almost surely an isometry for stable commutator length for every element; in particular, the unit ball in the scl norm of a free group admits an enormous number of exotic isometries. Using similar methods, we show that a random fatgraph in a free group is extremal (i.e. is an absolut…

The dense amalgam of metric compacta and topological characterization of boundaries of free products of groups

We introduce and study the operation, called dense amalgam, which to any tuple X_1,...,X_k of non-empty compact metric spaces associates some disconnected perfect compact metric space, denoted $\widetilde\sqcup(X_1,...,X_k)$, in which there are many appropriately distributed copies of the spaces X_1,...,X_k. We then show that, in various settings, the ideal boundary of the free product of groups is homeomorphic to the dense amalgam of boundaries of the factors. We give also related more general results for graphs of groups with finite edge groups. We justify these results by referring to a con…

Action rigidity for free products of hyperbolic manifold groups

Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. The Milnor-Schwarz lemma implies that groups with a common model geometry are quasi-isometric; however, the converse is false in general. We consider free products of uniform lattices in isometry groups of rank-1 symmetric spaces and prove, within each quasi-isometry class, residually finite groups that have a common model geometry are abstractly commensurable. Our result gives the first examples of hyperbolic groups that are quasi-isometric but do not virtually …
