3-manifold groups have unique asymptotic cones (1109.4674v1)

Abstract: We describe the (minimal) tree-graded structure of asymptotic cones of non-geometric graph manifold groups, and as a consequence we show that all said asymptotic cones are bilipschitz equivalent. Combining this with geometrization and other known results we obtain that all asymptotic cones of a given 3-manifold group are bilipschitz equivalent.
