Abstract:
The theory of ends of finitely generated groups $G$ and connected locally
finite graphs $\Gamma$ with vertex-transitive groups of automorphisms can
be regarded as a theory of Boolean algebras of subsets of $G$ or vertex
set of $\Gamma$ with finite boundaries (in the locally finite Cayley graph
of $G$ or in $\Gamma$ respectively), considered modulo finite subsets. We
develop a more general theory where infinite subsets with finite boundaries
are replaced by certain ‘big’ subsets with ‘small’ boundaries.
Keywords:group, graph, vertex-transitive group of automorphisms, end.
