Symmetric spaces and lattices are important objects to model spaces in geometry and topology. They have been studied from many different viewpoints. We will concentrate on their coarse geometry view point in this talk. I will first quickly go over some well-known results about quasi-isometry of those spaces. Then I will move to the study about quasi-isometric embeddings. While results in this direction are far less complete and well-studied, there are some rigidity phenomenons still happening here.
