Abstract: We introduce and study the notion of relative rigidity for pairs $(X,JJ)$ where 1) $X$ is a hyperbolic metric space and $JJ$ a collection of quasiconvex sets 2) $X$ is a relatively hyperbolic group and $JJ$ the collection of parabolics 3) $X$ is a higher rank symmetric space and $JJ$ an equivariant collection of maximal flats Relative rigidity can roughly be described as upgrading a uniformly proper map between two such $JJ$'s to a quasi-isometry between the corresponding $X$'s. A related notion is that of a $C$-complex which is the adaptation of a Tits complex to this context. We prove the relative rigidity of the collection of pairs $(X,JJ)$ as above. This generalises a result of Schwarz for symmetric patterns of geodesics in hyperbolic space. We show that a uniformly proper map induces an isomorphism of the corresponding $C$-complexes. We also give a couple of characterizations of quasiconvexity. of subgroups of hyperbolic groups on the way.
