An example of a non-quasiconvex subgroup of a word hyperbolic group with exotic limit set

Group Theory 2009-09-25 v1

Abstract

We construct an example of a torsion free freely indecomposable finitely presented non-quasiconvex subgroup HH of a word hyperbolic group GG such that the limit set of HH is not the limit set of a quasiconvex subgroup of GG. In particular, this gives a counterexample to the conjecture of G.Swarup that a finitely presented one-ended subgroup of a word hyperbolic group is quasiconvex if and only if it has finite index in its virtual normalizer.
