Triangulating surfaces quasi-isometrically

Agelos Georgakopoulos, Federico Vigolo

We prove that if a complete Riemannian surface is quasi-isometric to some bounded degree graph , then admits a triangulation whose 1-skeleton is quasi-isometric to…

On automorphisms, quasimorphisms, and coarse automorphisms of acylindrically hyperbolic groups

Ashot Minasyan, Alessandro Sisto, Federico Vigolo

We investigate the action of the automorphism group of an acylindrically hyperbolic group G on its space of homogeneous quasimorphisms, and identify its kernel with the subgroup of…

Coarse Baum-Connes and warped cones: failure of surjectivity in odd degree

Christos Kitsios, Thomas Schick, Federico Vigolo

We prove a conjecture of Roe by constructing unified warped cones that violate the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. Interestingly, the reason for this is probably not what Roe expect…

C*-rigidity of bounded geometry metric spaces

Diego Martínez, Federico Vigolo

We prove that uniformly locally finite metric spaces with isomorphic Roe algebras must be coarsely equivalent. As an application, we also prove that the outer automorphism group of…

On a coarse invertibility spectrum for coarse groups

Leo Schäfer, Federico Vigolo

We introduce a coarse algebraic invariant for coarse groups and use it to differentiate various coarsifications of the group of integers. This lets us answer two questions posed by…

A rigidity framework for Roe-like algebras

Diego Martínez, Federico Vigolo

In this memoir we develop a framework to study rigidity problems for Roe-like C*-algebras of countably generated coarse spaces. The main goal is to give a complete and self-contain…

Roe algebras of coarse spaces via coarse geometric modules

Diego Martínez, Federico Vigolo

We provide a construction of Roe (C*-)algebras of general coarse spaces in terms of coarse geometric modules. This extends the classical theory of Roe algebras of metric spaces and…

Dynamical propagation and Roe algebras of warped spaces

Tim de Laat, Federico Vigolo, Jeroen Winkel

Given a non-singular action , we define the -algebra of operators of finite dynamical propagation associated w…

An Invitation to Coarse Groups

Arielle Leitner, Federico Vigolo

In this monograph we lay the foundation for a theory of coarse groups and coarse actions. Coarse groups are group objects in the category of coarse spaces, and can be thought of as…

A Markovian and Roe-algebraic approach to asymptotic expansion in measure

Kang Li, Federico Vigolo, Jiawen Zhang

In this paper, we conduct further studies on geometric and analytic properties of asymptotic expansion in measure. More precisely, we develop a machinery of Markov expansion and ob…

Asymptotic expansion in measure and strong ergodicity

Kang Li, Federico Vigolo, Jiawen Zhang

In this paper, we introduce and study a notion of asymptotic expansion in measure for measurable actions. This generalises expansion in measure and provides a new perspective on th…

Remarks on partitions into expanders

Federico Vigolo

In this note we give a short proof that graphs having no linearly small Følner sets can be partitioned into a union of expanders. We use this fact to prove a partition result for g…

On the structure of asymptotic expanders

Ana Khukhro, Kang Li, Federico Vigolo +1

In this paper, we use geometric tools to study the structure of asymptotic expanders and show that a sequence of asymptotic expanders always admits a "uniform exhaustion by expande…

A new construction of CAT(0) cube complexes

Robert Kropholler, Federico Vigolo

We introduce the notion of coupled link cube complex (CLCC) as a means of constructing interesting cocompactly cubulated groups. CLCCs are defined locally, making them a useful too…

Fundamental groups as limits of discrete fundamental groups

Federico Vigolo

In this note we investigate to what extent the fundamental group of a metric space can be described as the inverse limit of its discrete fundamental groups. We show that some mild…

Discrete fundamental groups of Warped Cones and expanders

Federico Vigolo

In this paper we compute the discrete fundamental groups of warped cones. As an immediate consequence, this allows us to show that there exist coarsely simply-connected expanders a…

Superexpanders from group actions on compact manifolds

Tim de Laat, Federico Vigolo

It is known that the expanders arising as increasing sequences of level sets of warped cones, as introduced by the second-named author, do not coarsely embed into a Banach space as…

Measure expanding actions, expanders and warped cones

Federico Vigolo

We define a way of approximating actions on measure spaces using finite graphs; we then show that in quite general settings these graphs form a family of expanders if and only if t…
