Integrable measure equivalence for groups of polynomial growth (Q260105): Difference between revisions

Summary: \textit{U. Bader} et al. [Invent. Math. 194, No. 2, 313--379 (2013; Zbl 1279.22012)] have recently introduced the notion of integrable measure equivalence for finitely-generated groups. is 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 classication 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 under re-scaling, albeit in a very weak sense, to bi-Lipschitz maps of asymptotic cones.
