Regularity of quasigeodesics characterises hyperbolicity

Abstract: We characterise hyperbolic groups in terms of quasigeodesics in the Cayley graph forming regular languages. We also obtain a quantitative characterisation of hyperbolicity of geodesic metric spaces by the non-existence of certain local (3,0)-quasigeodesic loops. As an application we make progress towards a question of Shapiro regarding groups admitting a uniquely geodesic Cayley graph.
