Abstract

I will introduce the Cayley graph, which is a geometric tool for studying groups. I will give an explicit example showing a connection between the coarse geometric properties of the Cayley graph and the algebraic properties of the group. Though all are welcome to attend, this talk is intended to be accessible for graduate students of all levels; no background knowledge of geometric group theory is expected.
