Critical exponents for Poincaré profiles and conformal dimension

21.10.2025 15:00 - 17:00

John Mackay (Bristol)

Benjamini, Schramm and Timár quantified how well-connected an infinite 
graph is in terms of its "separation profile", where one considers the 
cut size of finite subgraphs.  There is an "L^p" version of this that 
uses Poincaré inequalities to measure the connectivity of finite 
subgraphs.  These "p-Poincaré profiles" were used in previous work with 
Hume and Tessera to show a variety of non-embedding results between 
groups.  I'll mainly talk about current work with Hume where we further 
study the connection between these profiles and the conformal dimension 
of the boundary at infinity of certain Gromov hyperbolic groups.
