Structure of quasiconvex virtual joins

Abstract

Let GG be a relatively hyperbolic group and let QQ and RR be relatively quasiconvex subgroups. It is known that there are many pairs of finite index subgroups QfQQ' \leqslant_f Q and RfRR' \leqslant_f R such that the subgroup join Q,R\langle Q', R' \rangle is also relatively quasiconvex, given suitable assumptions on the profinite topology of GG. We show that the intersections of such joins with maximal parabolic subgroups of GG are themselves joins of intersections of the factor subgroups QQ' and RR' with maximal parabolic subgroups of GG. As a consequence, we show that quasiconvex subgroups whose parabolic subgroups are almost compatible have finite index subgroups whose parabolic subgroups are compatible, and provide a combination theorem for such subgroups.
