Title: The quasi-isometry invariance of subgroups

Abstract: We will give a preliminary report on sufficient conditions
for subgroups to be invariant under quasi-isometries. That is, given a
quasi-isometry f: G --> G', we will show that if H is a subgroup of G
that satisfies certain conditions, then f(H) is a finite Hausdorff
distance from a subgroup of G'.
