Abstract:
Bestvina defined a Z-structure on a group G to generalize the theory of boundaries of CAT(0) and hyperbolic groups. In this talk, we will add to the known collection of groups admitting Z-structures by showing that all generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups admit Z-structures.
This is joint work with C. Guilbault (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) and C. Tirel (University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley).
