A Conjecture Concerning a Limit of Non-Cayley Graphs

Reinhard Diestel and Imre Leader

DOI: 10.1023/A:1011257718029

Abstract

Our aim in this note is to present a transitive graph that we conjecture is not quasi-isometric to any Cayley graph. No such graph is currently known. Our graph arises both as an abstract limit in a suitable space of graphs and in a concrete way as a subset of a product of trees.

Pages: 17–25

Keywords: Cayley graph; transitive; quasi-isometry; infinite
