We introduce a number of tools for finding and studying \emph{hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHS)}, a rich class of spaces including mapping class groups of surfaces, Teichm\"{u}ller space with either the Teichm\"{u}ller or…

We develop a notion of rank one properly convex domains (or Hilbert geometries) in the real projective space. This is in the spirit of rank one non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds and CAT(0) spaces. We define rank one isometries for…

Given any countable group $G$, we construct uncountably many quasi-isometry classes of proper geodesic metric spaces with quasi-isometry group isomorphic to $G$. Moreover, if the group $G$ is a hyperbolic group, the spaces we construct are…

A quasi-tree is a geodesic metric space quasi-isometric to a tree. We give a general construction of many actions of groups on quasi-trees. The groups we can handle include non-elementary (relatively) hyperbolic groups, rank 1 CAT(0)…

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…

We describe the structure of quasiflats in two-dimensio\-nal Artin groups. We rely on the notion of metric systolicity developed in our previous work. Using this weak form of non-positive curvature and analyzing in details the combinatorics…

Given a finite graph of relatively hyperbolic groups with its fundamental group relatively hyperbolic and edge groups quasi-isometrically embedded and relatively quasiconvex in vertex groups, we prove that vertex groups are relatively…

We study a more general version of the gluings of hyperbolic orbifolds in the spirit of Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro, where the gluing pieces, called the building blocks, are no longer assumed to be arithmetic or incommensurable. We prove…

We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a…

We describe sufficient conditions which guarantee that a finite set of mapping classes generate a right-angled Artin group quasi-isometrically embedded in the mapping class group. Moreover, under these conditions, the orbit map to…

We analyze the coarse geometry of the Weil-Petersson metric on Teichm\"uller space, focusing on applications to its synthetic geometry (in particular the behavior of geodesics). We settle the question of the strong relative hyperbolicity of…

We introduce the notions of geometric height and graded (geometric) relative hyperbolicity in this paper. We use these to characterize quasiconvexity in hyperbolic groups, relative quasiconvexity in relatively hyperbolic groups, and convex…

We give a new proof of a theorem of Kleiner-Leeb: that any quasi-isometrically embedded Euclidean space in a product of symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings is contained in a metric neighborhood of finitely many flats, as long as the…

A study of smooth contact quasiconformal mappings of the hyperbolic Heisenberg group is presented in this paper. Our main result is a Lifting Theorem; according to this, a symplectic quasiconformal mapping of the hyperbolic plane can be…

We prove that the mapping class group of a sphere with five punctures admits uncountably many coarsely equivariant coarse median structures. The same is shown for right-angled Artin groups whose defining graphs are connected, triangle- and…

We study relations between maps between relatively hyperbolic groups/spaces and quasisymmetric embeddings between their boundaries. More specifically, we establish a correspondence between (not necessarily coarsely surjective)…

We show that quasi-isometries of (well-behaved) hierarchically hyperbolic groups descend to quasi-isometries of their maximal hyperbolic space. This has two applications, one relating to quasi-isometry invariance of acylindrical…

For a hierarchically hyperbolic group, we provide sufficient conditions under which suitable powers of a finite collection of elements generate a right-angled Artin subgroup. Under additional hypotheses, we further show that this subgroup…

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 develop a theory of \emph{strongly quasiconvex subgroups} of an arbitrary finitely generated group. Strong quasiconvexity generalizes quasiconvexity in hyperbolic groups and is preserved under quasi-isometry. We show that strongly…
