In mathematics, a quasi-isometry is a means to compare the large-scale structure of metric spaces. The concept is especially important in Gromov''s geometric group theory.Given a finite generating set S of a finitely generated group G, we can form the corresponding Cayley graph of S and G.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In mathematics, a quasi-isometry is a means to compare the large-scale structure of metric spaces. The concept is especially important in Gromov''s geometric group theory.Given a finite generating set S of a finitely generated group G, we can form the corresponding Cayley graph of S and G. This graph becomes a metric space if we declare the length of each edge to be 1. Taking a different finite generating set T results in a different graph and a different metric space, however the two spaces are quasi-isometric. This quasi-isometry class is thus an invariant of the group G. Any property of metric spaces that only depends on a space''s quasi-isometry class immediately yields another invariant of groups, opening the field of group theory to geometric methods.
