“…The motivation for this work came in part from the following question of Stark and Woodhouse [
30, Question 1.9]: If
and
are one‐ended residually finite hyperbolic groups that act geometrically on the same simplicial complex, are
and
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.…”
