Quasi-isometric rigidity for a product of lattices

We demonstrate quasi-isometric rigidity for the product of a non-uniform rank one lattice and a nilpotent lattice. Specifically, we show that any finitely-generated group quasi-isometric to such a product is, up to finite noise, an extension of a non-uniform rank one lattice by a nilpotent lattice. Furthermore, we show under extra conditions that this extension is nilcentral, a notion which generalizes central extensions to extensions by a nilpotent group.
