Mostow rigidity for hyperbolic groups

Abstract. I will discuss a rigidity theorem which generalizes Mostow rigidity to a class of Gromov hyperbolic groups. This may viewed as a first step toward attaching a canonical geometry to (certain) hyperbolic groups. The setting, theorems, and proofs involve recently developed techniques from analysis on metric spaces.
