摘要

We introduce the notion of Banach metrics on finitely generated infinite groups. This extends the notion of a Cayley graph (as a metric space). Our motivation comes from trying to detect the existence of virtual homomorphisms into \(\mathbb {Z}\) Z . We show that detection of such homomorphisms through metric functional boundaries of Cayley graphs isn’t always possible. However, we prove that it is always possible to do so through a metric functional boundary of some Banach metric on the group.
