Abstract: | We show quasi-isometric rigidity for a class of finitely generated, non-polycyclic nilpotent-by-cyclic groups. Specifically,
let Γ1, Γ2 be ascending HNN extensions of finitely generated nilpotent groups N
1 and N
2, such that Γ1 is irreducible (see Definition 1.1). If Γ1 and Γ2 are quasi-isometric to each other then N
1 and N
2 are virtual lattices in a common simply connected nilpotent Lie group (N)\tilde]{\tilde{N}}. As a consequence, we show the class of irreducible ascending HNN extensions of finitely generated nilpotent groups is quasi-isometrically
rigid. |
