We prove that the universal cover of any graph manifold quasi-isometrically embeds into a product of three trees. In particular we show that the Assouad-Nagata dimension of the universal cover of any closed graph manifold is 3, proving a conjecture of Smirnov.

Embedding relatively hyperbolic groups in products of trees
• Mathematics
• 2012
We show that a relatively hyperbolic group quasi-isometrically embeds in a product of finitely many trees if the peripheral subgroups do, and we provide an estimate on the minimal number of treesExpand
Four-dimensional graph-manifolds with fundamental groups quasi-isometric to fundamental groups of orthogonal graph-manifolds
We introduce a topological invariant, it a type of a graph-manifold, which takes natural values. For a 4-dimensional graph-manifold, whose type does not exceed two, it is proved that its universalExpand
Direct embeddings of relatively hyperbolic groups with optimal $\ell^p$ compression exponent
We prove that for all $p>1$, every relatively hyperbolic group has $\ell^p$ compression exponent equal to the minimum of the exponents of its maximal parabolic subgroups. Moreover, this embedding canExpand

Croke-Kleiner admissible groups: Property (QT) and quasiconvexity
• Mathematics

Croke-Kleiner admissible groups firstly introduced by Croke-Kleiner belong to a particular class of graph of groups which generalize fundamental groups of $3$--dimensional graph manifolds. In thisExpand

Embedding of hyperbolic groups into products of binary trees
• Mathematics
• 2007
We show that every Gromov hyperbolic group Γ admits a quasi-isometric embedding into the product of n+1 binary trees, where n=dim∂∞Γ is the topological dimension of the boundary at infinity of Γ.
Linearly-controlled asymptotic dimension of the fundamental group of a graph-manifold
We prove that the linearly controlled asymptotic dimension of the fundamental group of any 3-dimensional graph-manifold does not exceed 7. As applications we obtain that the universal cover of such aExpand
3-manifold groups have unique asymptotic cones
We describe the (minimal) tree-graded structure of asymptotic cones of non-geometric graph manifold groups, and as a consequence we show that all said asymptotic cones are bilipschitz equivalent.Expand

AbstractWe show that for each n ≥ 2 there is a quasi-isometric embedding of the hyperbolic space Hn in the product Tn=T × ··· × T of n copies of a (simplicial) metric tree T. On the other hand, weExpand
On asymptotic cones and quasi-isometry classes of fundamental groups of 3-manifolds

We apply the concept of asymptotic cone to distinguish quasi-isometry classes of fundamental groups of 3-manifolds. We prove that the existence of a Seifert component in a Haken manifold is aExpand

Abstract. We prove that the fundamental group of any compact Haken manifold of zero Euler characteristic, which is neither Nil nor Sol, is nonpositvely curved on the large scale.
Asymptotic dimension and uniform embeddings
We show that the type function of a space with finite asymptotic dimension estimates its Hilbert (or any $l^p$) compression. The method allows to obtain the lower bound of the compression of theExpand

The divergence of the fundamental group of compact irreducible 3-manifolds satisfying Thurston's geometrization conjecture is calculated. For every closed Haken 3-manifold group, the divergence isExpand

Nagata dimension, quasisymmetric embeddings, and Lipschitz extensions

We discuss a variation of Gromov's notion of asymptotic dimension that was introduced and named Nagata dimension by Assouad. The Nagata dimension turns out to be a quasisymmetry invariant of metricExpand
