The quasi-isometric restriction conjecture for linear semidirect products

At least 13 years old · documented by

Let Γ\Gamma be a finitely generated group, and let ρ\rho be a linear representation of Γ\Gamma on Rn\mathbf{R}^n. Equip Rn⋊ρΓ\mathbf{R}^n\rtimes_\rho\Gamma and Rn⋊ρ(Γ)‾\mathbf{R}^n\rtimes\overline{\rho(\Gamma)} with word lengths associated to compact generating subsets, and restrict these word lengths to the respective copies of Rn\mathbf{R}^n. Quasi-isometric restriction conjecture. The canonical homomorphism

Rn⋊ρΓ⟶Rn⋊ρ(Γ)‾\mathbf{R}^n\rtimes_\rho\Gamma \longrightarrow \mathbf{R}^n\rtimes\overline{\rho(\Gamma)}

is a quasi-isometry when restricted to Rn\mathbf{R}^n. This question arises in the study of the metric geometry of semidirect products associated with generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups; only partial results are available in the source.
