Metric ends, fibers and automorphisms of graphs

Abstract

Several results on the action of graph automorphisms on ends and fibers are generalized for the case of metric ends. This includes results on the action of the automorphisms on the end space, directions of automorphisms, double rays which are invariant under a power of an automorphism and metrically almost transitive automorphism groups. It is proved that the bounded automorphisms of a metrically almost transitive graph with more than one end are precisely the kernel of the action on the space of metric ends.
