A finitely generated group is hyperbolic when one, equivalently every, Cayley graph for a finite generating set is a Gromov-hyperbolic metric space.
A **hyperbolic group** is a type of group that exhibits a particular geometric property related to negative curvature. The concept of hyperbolic groups originates from the study of hyperbolic geometry and plays a significant role in geometric group theory.
