Title: On coarse embeddings of amenable groups into hyperbolic graphs

Abstract: In this note we prove that if a finitely generated amenable group admits a regular map to a direct product of a hyperbolic space and a euclidean space, then it must be virtually nilpotent. We deduce that an amenable group regularly embeds into a hyperbolic group if and only if it is virtually nilpotent, answering a question of Hume and Sisto. We describe an application to Lorentz geometry due to Charles Frances.
