Abstract

M. Gromov has shown that any two finitely generated groups Γ and Λ are quasi-isometric if and only if they admit a topological coupling, i.e., a commuting pair of proper continuous cocompact actions Γ ↷ X↶ Λ on a locally compact Hausdorff space. This result is extended here to all (compactly generated) locally compact second-countable groups.
