Title: Shortcut graphs and groups

Abstract:

Shortcut graphs are graphs in which long enough cycles cannot embed
without metric distortion. Shortcut groups are groups which act
properly and cocompactly on shortcut graphs. These notions unify a
surprisingly broad family of graphs and groups of interest in
geometric group theory and metric graph theory including: systolic and
quadric groups (in particular finitely presented C(6) and C(4)-T(4)
small cancellation groups), cocompactly cubulated groups, hyperbolic
groups, Coxeter groups and the Baumslag-Solitar group BS(1,2). Most of
these examples satisfy a strong form of the shortcut property. I will
discuss some of these examples as well as some general constructions
and properties of shortcut graphs and groups.
