Interplay between interior and boundary geometry in Gromov hyperbolic spaces. (English) Zbl 1206.53047

The author shows that two visual and geodesic Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces are roughly isometric if and only if their boundaries at infinity, equipped with suitable quasimetrics, are bi-Lipschitz quasi-Möbius equivalent. This result can be regarded as an extension theorem for bi-Lipschitz mappings.
