On uniformly continuous endomorphisms of hyperbolic groups

We prove a generalization of the fellow traveller property for a certain type of quasi-geodesics and use it to present three equivalent geometric formulations of the bounded reduction property and to prove that this is equivalent to preservation of a coarse median. We then provide an affirmative answer to a question from Araujo and Silva as to whether every nontrivial uniformly continuous endomorphism of a hyperbolic group with respect to a visual metric satisfies a Holder condition. We remark that these results combined with the work done by Paulin prove that every endomorphism admitting a continuous extension to the completion has a finitely generated fixed point subgroup.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
