Gromov hyperbolic spaces have become an essential concept in geometry, topology and group theory. Here we extend Ancona's potential theory on Gromov hyperbolic manifolds and graphs of bounded geometry to a large class of Schr\"odinger…

Many geometric structures associated to surface groups can be encoded in terms of invariant cross ratios on their circle at infinity; examples include points of Teichm\"uller space, Hitchin representations and geodesic currents. We add to…

We generalize a result of Paulin on the Gromov boundary of hyperbolic groups to the Morse boundary of proper, maximal hierarchically hyperbolic spaces admitting cocompact group actions by isometries. Namely we show that if the Morse…

Based on the work of Farb, Bowditch, and Groves-Manning on discrete relatively hyperbolic groups, we introduce an approach to relative hyperbolicity for totally disconnected locally compact (TDLC) groups. For compactly generated TDLC…

We study the subgroup structure of discrete groups which share cohomological properties which resemble non-negative curvature. Examples include all Gromov hyperbolic groups. We provide strong restrictions on the possible s-normal subgroups…

Suppose G is a hyperbolic group whose boundary has topological dimension k. If the boundary is quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to an Ahlfors k-regular metric space, then, modulo a finite normal subgroup, G is isomorphic to a uniform lattice…

The paper consists of two parts. In the first one we show that a relatively hyperbolic group $G$ splits as a star graph of groups whose central vertex group is finitely generated and the other vertex groups are maximal parabolic subgroups.…

We study the closed group of homeomorphisms of the boundary of real hyperbolic space generated by a cocompact Kleinian group $G_1$ and a quasiconformal conjugate $h^{-1}G_2 h$ of a cocompact group $G_2$. We show that if the conjugacy $h$ is…

In this paper, we study the characterization of inner uniformity of bounded domains $G$ in $\IR^n$, and prove that the following three conditions are equivalent: $(1)$ $G$ is inner uniform; $(2)$ $G$ is Gromov hyperbolic and its inner…

For finitely supported random walks on finitely generated groups $G$ we prove that the identity map on $G$ extends to a continuous equivariant surjection from the Martin boundary to the Floyd boundary, with preimages of conical points being…

We prove uniform Ancona-Gou\"ezel-Lalley inequalities for an extension by a hyperbolic group $G$ of a Markov map which allows to deduce that the visual boundary of the group and the Martin boundary are H\"older equivalent. As application,…

We introduce measure-theoretic definitions of {\it hyperbolic structure for measure-preserving automorphisms}. A wide class of $K$-automorphisms possesses a hyperbolic structure; we prove that all $K$-automorphisms have a slightly weaker…

We consider a `contracting boundary' of a proper geodesic metric space consisting of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like geodesics in a hyperbolic space. We topologize this set via the Gromov product, in analogy to the…
