Švarc–Milnor lemma
text:
In the mathematical subject of geometric group theory, the Švarc–Milnor lemma is a statement which says that a group G, equipped with a "nice" discrete isometric action on a metric space X, is quasi-isometric to X. This result goes back, in different form, before the notion of quasi-isometry was formally introduced, to the work of Albert S. Schwarz (1955) and John Milnor (1968). Pierre de la Harpe called the Švarc–Milnor lemma "the fundamental observation in geometric group theory" because of it
