| I will give a characterization of connected Lie groups admitting a quasi-isometric embedding into a CAT(0) metric space. The proof relies on the study of the geometry of their asymptotic cones | |||

| Quasifuchsian punctured-torus groups are the `simplest'Kleinian groups with an interesting deformation theory. I will show that the convex core of the quotient of hyperbolic 3-space by such a group admits a decomposition into ideal tetrahedra which is canonical in two completely independent senses: one combinatorial, the other geometric. One upshot is a proof of the Bending Lamination Conjecture for such groups. | |||
