We provide sufficient conditions for two subgroups of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to generate an amalgamated free product over their intersection. The result applies in particular to certain geometric subgroups of mapping class groups…

We show that many graphs naturally associated to a connected, compact, orientable surface are hierarchically hyperbolic spaces in the sense of Behrstock, Hagen and Sisto. They also automatically have the coarse median property defined by…

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…

Carrier graphs of groups representing subgroups of a given relatively hyperbolic groups are introduced and a combination theorem for relatively quasi-convex subgroups is proven. Subsequently a theory of folds for such carrier graphs is…

$H$ is called a $G$-subgroup of a hyperbolic group $G$ if for any finite subset $M\subset G$ there exists a homomorphism from $G$ onto a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G_1$ that is surjective on $H$ and injective on $M$. In his paper in…

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)…

Let S be a closed surface of genus at least 2. We show that a finitely generated group G which is an extension of the fundamental group H of S is word hyperbolic if and only the orbit map of the quotient group G/H on the complex of curves…

The combinatorial hierarchical hyperbolicity criterion is a very useful way of constructing new hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHSs). We show that, conversely, HHSs satisfying natural assumptions (satisfied, for example, by mapping class…

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 classify the boundaries of hyperbolic groups that have enough quasiconvex codimension-1 surface subgroups with trivial or cyclic intersections.

Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto classified 3-manifold groups admitting a hierarchically hyperbolic space structure. However, these structures were not always equivariant with respect to the group. In this paper, we classify 3-manifold groups…

We show that a relatively hyperbolic graph with uniformly hyperbolic peripheral subgraphs is hyperbolic. As an application, we show that the disc graph and the electrified disc graph of a handlebody H of genus g>1 are hyperbolic, and we…

An interesting question about quasiconvexity in a hyperbolic group concerns finding classes of quasiconvex subsets that are closed under finite intersections. A known example is the class of all quasiconvex subgroups. However, not much is…
