This is the sub-equivalence relation of measure equivalence obtained by insisting that the relevant cocycles satisfy an integrability condition. They have used it to prove new classification results for hyperbolic groups. The present work shows that groups of polynomial growth are also quite rigid under integrable measure equivalence, in that if two such groups are equivalent then they must have bi-Lipschitz asymptotic cones. This will follow by proving that the cocycles arising from an integrable measure equivalence converge, albeit in a very weak sense, to bi-Lipschitz maps of asymptotic cones.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2013-11-19T17:24:06.000Z", "comment": "34 pages [TDA Oct-22-13:] New references added [TDA Nov-6-11:] Added Appendix by Lewis Bowen", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v5", "updated": "2014-11-24T17:29:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "37A20", "20E99", "51F99" ], "keywords": [ "polynomial growth", "relevant cocycles satisfy", "bi-lipschitz asymptotic cones", "integrable measure equivalence converge", "classification results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1310.3216A" } } }
