= Quasi-isometry criterion for a group homomorphism

For <finitely generated groups> $G,H$, a <group homomorphism> $\phi:G\to H$ is a <quasi-isometry> exactly when its <kernel> is finite and its image is a <finite-index subgroup> of $H$. The finite kernel controls collapse of distances, and finite index is exactly the coarse-surjectivity condition.
