Description
Houghton's groups are a family of subgroups of infinite permutation
groups known for their cohomological properties. Here, I describe
some aspects of their geometry and metric properties including
families of self-quasi-isometries. This is joint work with Jose
Burillo, Armando Martino and Claas Roever.
