Property (QT) for 3-manifold groups

Suzhen Han, Hoang Thanh Nguyen and Wenyuan Yang

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 25 (2025) 107–159
Abstract

According to Bestvina, Bromberg and Fujiwara, a finitely generated group is said to have property (QT) if it acts isometrically on a finite product of quasitrees so that orbital maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. We prove that the fundamental group π1(M) of a compact, connected, orientable 3-manifold M has property (QT) if and only if no summand in the sphere-disc decomposition of M supports either Sol or Nil geometry. In particular, all compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold groups with nontrivial torus decomposition and not supporting Sol geometry have property (QT). In the course of our study, we establish property (QT) for the class of Croke–Kleiner admissible groups and for relatively hyperbolic groups under natural assumptions on the peripheral subgroups.
