Proper actions and weak amenability of classical relatively hyperbolic groups
A finitely generated group is hyperbolic if any of its Cayley graph with respect to some finite generating set is Gromov hyperbolic as a metric graph. Let us recall that a geodesic metric space is Gromov hyperbolic if any geodesic triangle is \(\delta\)-thin or equivalently any connected union of geodesic segments can be approximated uniformly by some metric tree with finitely many vertices.\N\NThis geometric property for a finitely generated group has consequences of an analytic taste: It implies the existence of some proper affine actions on some \(L^p\)-spaces and weak amenability, for example.\N\NSome groups, for example non-uniform lattices in rank 1 simple Lie groups, are not hyperbolic but very close to them: there is a finitely generated subgroup \(P\) (or a finite collection of such subgroups more generally) such that \(G\) is hyperbolic relatively to \(P\). Unfortunately, hyperbolic spaces often used to study relative hyperbolicity are not of bounded geometry or even not locally compact. In particular, the two above consequences for hyperbolic groups do not pass easily to relatively hyperbolic groups.\N\NIn this paper, the author proposes to study a better behaved subclass of relatively hyperbolic groups: the ones such that \(P\) has polynomial growth. They call them « classical ». This is the case for non-uniform rank 1 lattices, for example.\N\NThe main property of this subclass is the following fact: a Cayley graph of a classical relatively hyperbolic group \(G\) can be embedded into a bounded geometry hyperbolic graph \(\Gamma\) such that each coset of \(P\) lies at a bounded distance from a horosphere. Unfortunately, \(\Gamma\) has no \(G\)-action and thus the authors consider the collection of all such graphs, on which \(G\) acts preserving a probability measure.\N\NFrom this remarkable fact, they are able to prove existence results of some proper affine actions on \(L^p\)-spaces and weak amenability.
