Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. The Milnor-Schwarz lemma implies that groups with a common model geometry are quasi-isometric; however, the…

A simplicial graph is said to be (coarsely) Helly if any collection of pairwise intersecting balls has non-empty (coarse) intersection. (Coarsely) Helly groups are groups acting geometrically on (coarsely) Helly graphs. Our main result is…

We consider the relation between geometrically finite groups and their limit sets in infinite-dimensional hyperbolic space. Specifically, we show that a rigidity theorem of Susskind and Swarup ('92) generalizes to infinite dimensions, while…

Let $(M, \partial M)$ be a compact 3-manifold with boundary, which admits a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. We consider the hyperbolic metrics on $M$ such that the boundary is smooth and strictly convex. We show that the induced…

In 1996, Gersten proved that finitely presented subgroups of a word hyperbolic group of integral cohomological dimension 2 are hyperbolic. We use isoperimetric inequalities over arbitrary rings to extend this result to any ring. In…

We construct nonlinear hyperbolic groups which are large, torsion-free, one-ended, and admit a finite $K(\pi,1)$. Our examples are built from superrigid cocompact rank one lattices via amalgamated free products and HNN extensions.

In this paper, it is shown that every point in the hyperbolic 3-space is moved at a distance at least $0.5\log\left(12\cdot 3^{k-1}-3\right)$ by one of the isometries of length at most $k\geq 2$ in a 2-generator Klenian group $\Gamma$ which…

We study subgroups of ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ generated by two non-commuting unipotent maps $A$ and $B$ whose product $AB$ is also unipotent. We call $\mathcal{U}$ the set of conjugacy classes of such groups. We provide a set of coordinates on…

In this paper, we continue with the results in \cite{Pg} and compute the group of quasi-isometries for a subclass of split solvable unimodular Lie groups. Consequently, we show that any finitely generated group quasi-isometric to a member…

Let W be a compact hyperbolic n-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. We prove that if n>3 then the holonomy representation of pi_1 (W) into the isometry group of hyperbolic n-space is infinitesimally rigid.

We prove that the topological complexity of a finite index subgroup of a hyperbolic group is linear in its index. This follows from a more general result relating the size of the quotient of a free cocompact action of hyperbolic group on a…

We prove that thick groups (and more generally thick graphs) have trivial Floyd boundary. This shows a wide class of finitely generated groups that are non-relatively hyperbolic have trivial Floyd boundary. In addition to giving new…

We prove hyperbolic 3-manifolds are geometrically inflexible: a unit quasiconformal deformation of a Kleinian group extends to an equivariant bi-Lipschitz diffeomorphism between quotients whose pointwise bi-Lipschitz constant decays…

We prove that for any finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group G and any symmetric endomorphism f of G with relatively quasiconvex image, Fixf is relatively quasiconvex subgroup of G.
