Geometric Group Theory
A quasi-isometry is a type of function between metric spaces that preserves distances up to a bounded distortion, meaning it roughly maintains the shape and size of the spaces while allowing for some stretching and compressing. This concept is important in understanding the geometric properties of groups, especially when analyzing their actions on spaces like Cayley graphs and CAT(0) spaces.
congrats on reading the definition of Quasi-Isometry. now let's actually learn it.
