Topology Seminar (Main Talk): Boundaries of groups
Seminar | January 17 | 4-5 p.m. | 3 Evans Hall
Ruth Charney, Brandeis University
Boundaries of hyperbolic metric spaces have played an important role in the study of hyperbolic groups. We will discuss an analogous boundary for arbitrary finitely generated groups, called the Morse boundary, and present a recent theorem showing that in many cases, the Morse boundary determines the group up to quasi-isometry. (Joint work with M. Cordes and D. Murray)
