The search for a k-geodetic group

Abstract:
A graph is k-geodetic if there are at most k geodesic (length minimal) paths joining any two vertices. For example a tree is 1-geodetic.
I will describe some first steps to prove or disprove the existence of an infinite group having a finite generating set with respect to which its Cayley graph is k-geodetic for k>1.
