We define the L p -cohomology of a Gromov hyperbolic Riemannian manifold relative to a point on its boundary at infinity and prove that it is, as in the classical case, a quasi-isometry invariant. We obtain an application to the problem of quasi-isometry classification of Heintze groups. More precisely, we explicitly construct non-zero relative L p -cohomology classes on a Heintze group R n ⋊ α R, which allows us to prove that the eigenvalues of α, up to a scalar multiple, are invariants under quasi-isometries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
