A Combination Theorem for Strong Relative Hyperbolicity

Geometric Topology 2014-11-11 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We prove a combination theorem for trees of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic spaces and finite graphs of (strongly) relatively hyperbolic groups. This gives a geometric extension of Bestvina and Feighn's Combination Theorem for hyperbolic groups and answers a question of Swarup. We also prove a converse to the main Combination Theorem.
