More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups $\\mathbb{G}(\\Delta)$ and $\\mathbb{G}(\\Gamma)$ are quasi-isometric, then $\\mathbb{G}(\\Delta)$ is a (nice) subgroup of $\\mathbb{G}(\\Gamma)$ and vice-versa. We show that the conjecture holds for all known cases of quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups, namely for the classes of $n$-tress and atomic graphs. As in the classical Mostow rigidity theory for irreducible lattices, we relate the quasi-isometric rigidity of the class of atomic partially commutative groups with the algebraic rigidity, that is with the co-Hopfian property of their $\\mathbb{Q}$-completions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-03-01T15:00:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "partially commutative groups", "quasi-isometric classification", "embeddability", "alias right-angled artin groups", "classical mostow rigidity theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
