Action rigidity for free products of hyperbolic manifold groups

Abstract: Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. We consider free products of uniform lattices in isometry groups of rank-1 symmetric spaces and prove, within each quasi-isometry class, that residually finite groups that have a common model geometry are abstractly commensurable. Our result gives the first examples of hyperbolic groups that are quasi-isometric but do not virtually have a common model geometry. An important compo… Show more

“…The motivation for this work came in part from the following question of Stark and Woodhouse [30, Question 1.9]: If H$H$ and H$H^{\prime }$ are one‐ended residually finite hyperbolic groups that act geometrically on the same simplicial complex, are H$H$ and H$H^{\prime }$ abstractly commensurable? The groups considered here are certainly not hyperbolic or residually finite, but they provide another setting, in addition to lattices in products of trees, in which incommensurable groups can have a common combinatorial model.…”
