We give a general construction of a tree that approximates the ends of a geodesic space, and use this to prove that every quasi-tree is $(1,C)$-quasi-isometric to a simplicial tree. As a consequence, we show that Gromov's tree approximation lemma for hyperbolic spaces can be improved in the case of quasi-trees to give a uniform approximation for any set of points, independent of cardinality. From this we show that having uniform tree approximation for finite subsets is equivalent to being able to uniformly approximate the entire space by a tree. As another consequence, we note that the boundary of a quasi-tree is isometric to the boundary of its approximating tree under a certain choice of visual metric, and that this gives a natural extension of the standard metric on the boundary of a tree.","PeriodicalId":55084,"journal":{"name":"Groups Geometry and Dynamics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43223237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We prove that even when $Sigma$ is a cusped hyperbolic surface with finite area, $mathrm{GC}(Sigma )$ has the denseness property of rational geodesic currents, which correspond not only to weighted closed geodesics on $Sigma$ but also to weighted geodesics connecting two cusps. In addition, we present an example in which a sequence of weighted closed geodesics converges to a geodesic connecting two cusps, which is an obstruction for the intersection number to extend continuously to $mathrm{GC}(Sigma )$.
