Geometric Inverse Semigroup Theory: a note on the Milnor-Schwarz Lemma for inverse monoids
Abstract
We generalise the Milnor-Schwarz lemma to inverse monoids acting on presheaves of geodesic metric spaces. We provide two proofs of this fact: one only uses elementary techniques, inspired by the arguments for group actions on metric spaces; the other involves a version of the Vietoris-Rips complex, and builds on work of Chung-Mart\'inez-Szak\'acs.
