Résumé

We discuss in this article a property of action of groups by isometries called "well displacing". An action is said to be well displacing, if the displacement function is equivalent to the the displacement function for the action on the Cayley graph. We relate this property with the fact that orbit maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. We first describe countrexamples that shows this two notions are unrelated in general. On the other hand we explain that for a certain class of groups -- in particular hyperbolic groups -- these two properties are equivalent. In the course of our discussion, we introduce an intrinsic property of the group --- that we called the U-property -- which says quantitatively how the norm an element is controlled by the translation length of finitely many related conjugacy classes. This property play a central role in our discussion.
