We show that every word hyperbolic, surface-by-(noncyclic) free group Gamma is as rigid as possible: the quasi-isometry group of Gamma equals the abstract commensurator group Comm(Gamma), which in turn contains Gamma as a finite index…

Suppose $G$ is a finitely generated group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. Let $\partial_{c}^{\mathcal{F}\mathcal{Q}}G$ denote the contracting boundary of $G$ with the topology of fellow travelling quasi-geodesics defined by Cashen-Mackay…

We show that the Morse boundary of a Morse local-to-global group is $\sigma$-compact. Moreover, we show that the converse holds for small cancellation groups. As an application, we show that the Morse boundary of a non-hyperbolic, Morse…

Given a group acting cellularly and cocompactly on a simply-connected 2-complex, we provide a criterion establishing that all finitely generated subgroups have quasiconvex orbits. This work generalizes the "perimeter method". As an…

We characterize convex cocompact subgroups of mapping class groups that arise as subgroups of specially embedded right-angled Artin groups. That is, if the right-angled Artin group G in Mod(S) satisfies certain conditions that imply G is…

A discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $H$ is called a uniform lattice if the quotient $H/\Gamma$ is compact. Such an $H$ is called an envelope of $\Gamma$. In this paper we study the problem of classifying envelopes of…

We study those groups that act properly discontinuously, cocompactly, and isometrically on CAT(0) spaces with isolated flats and the Relative Fellow Traveller Property. The groups in question include word hyperbolic CAT(0) groups as well as…

Consider $\operatorname{Sym}(n)$, endowed with the normalized Hamming metric $d_n$. A finitely-generated group $\Gamma$ is \emph{P-stable} if every almost homomorphism $\rho_{n_k}\colon \Gamma\rightarrow\operatorname{Sym}(n_k)$ (i.e., for…

The problem of equivariant rigidity is the $\Gamma$-homeomorphism classification of $\Gamma$-actions on manifolds with compact quotient and with contractible fixed sets for all finite subgroups of $\Gamma$. In other words, this is the…

Let $1 \to K \longrightarrow G \stackrel{\pi}\longrightarrow Q$ be an exact sequence of hyperbolic groups. Let $Q_1 < Q$ be a quasiconvex subgroup and let $G_1=\pi^{-1}(Q_1)$. Under relatively mild conditions (e.g. if $K$ is a closed…

We study homogenization by $\Gamma$-convergence of periodic nonconvex integrals when the integrand has quasiconvex growth with convex effective domain.

In this article we discuss cohomological obstructions to two kinds of group stability. In the first part, we show that residually finite groups $\Gamma$ which arise as fundamental groups of compact Riemannian manifolds with strictly…

We give a dynamical characterization of convex cocompact group actions on properly convex domains in projective space in the sense of Danciger-Gueritaud-Kassel: we show that convex cocompactness in $\mathbb{R} \mathrm{P}^d$ is equivalent to…

This (quasi-)survey addresses the quasi-isometry classification of locally compact groups, with an emphasis on amenable hyperbolic locally compact groups. This encompasses the problem of quasi-isometry classification of homogeneous…

The Morse boundary of a proper geodesic metric space is designed to encode hypberbolic-like behavior in the space. A key property of this boundary is that a quasi-isometry between two such spaces induces a homeomorphism on their Morse…

In the spirit of peripheral subgroups in relatively hyperbolic groups, we exhibit a simple class of quasi-isometrically rigid subgroups in graph products of finite groups, which we call eccentric subgroups. As an application, we prove that,…

We prove a Morse Lemma for coarsely regular quasigeodesics in nonpositively curved symmetric spaces and euclidean buildings X. The main application is a simpler coarse geometric characterization of Morse subgroups of the isometry groups…

Compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds are used in cosmological models. Their topology is characterized by their homotopy group $\pi_1(M)$ whose elements multiply by path concatenation. The universal covering of the compact manifold $M$ is the…

We consider a group G of isometries acting on a (not necessarily geodesic) delta-hyperbolic space X and possessing a radial limit set of full measure within its limit set. For any continuous quasiconformal measure w supported on the limit…

Given a sublinear function $\kappa$, $\kappa$-Morse boundaries $\pka X$ of proper \CAT spaces are introduced by Qing, Rafi and Tiozzo. It is a topological space that consists of a large set of quasi-geodesic rays and it is…
