Abstract

A major theme in geometric group theory is to classify finitely generated groups up to quasi-isometry.  We consider certain right-angled Coxeter groups, and use Bowditch's JSJ decomposition of one-ended hyperbolic groups to determine the quasi-isometry classification of an infinite family.  Combined with a result of Crisp and Paoluzzi, it follows that quasi-isometry is stronger than commensurability for this class.  This is joint work with Pallavi Dani.
