Torsion in asymptotic cones of free groups
Jarek Kędra, Assaf Libman, Zipei Nie
We prove that the asymptotic cone of any non-abelian free group equipped with the bi-invariant word metric has elements of order 2.

Jarek KÄdra, Assaf Libman
We prove that a homomorphism between free groups of finite rank equipped with the bi-invariant word metrics is a quasi-isometry if and only if it is an isomorphism.
