This paper gives a new explicit construction of the $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic hull for virtually solvable groups $\Gamma$ of finite abelian ranks, taking into account the spectrum $S$ of the group $\Gamma$. As an application, we make a…

We prove that a group obtained as a quotient of the free product of finitely many cubulable groups by a finite set of relators satisfying the classical $C'(1/6)$--small cancellation condition is cubulable. This yields a new large class of…

In this article, for $n\geq 2$, we compute asymptotic, qualitative, and quantitative estimates of the Bergman kernel of Picard modular cusp forms associated to torsion-free, cocompact subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}\big((n,1),\mathbb{C}\big)$.…

Given a non-positively curved cube complex $X$, we prove that the quotient of $\pi_1X$ defined by a cubical presentation $\langle X\mid Y_1,\dots, Y_s\rangle$ satisfying sufficient non-metric cubical small-cancellation conditions is…

We prove for non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups $\Gamma$ and all $r\ge 2$ that the higher topological complexity ${\sf{TC}}_r(\Gamma)$ is equal to $r\cdot \mathrm{cd}(\Gamma)$. In particular, hyperbolic groups satisfy the…

We study the large-scale geometry of graph braid groups $\mathbb{B}_n(\mathsf{\Gamma})$, viewed as the fundamental groups of discrete configuration spaces $UD_n(\mathsf{\Gamma})$, which are special cube complexes in the sense of…

We provide a new method of constructing non-quasiconvex subgroups of hyperbolic groups by utilizing techniques inspired by Stallings' foldings. The hyperbolic groups constructed are in the natural class of right-angled Coxeter groups (RACGs…

We construct free abelian subgroups of the group $U(A_\Gamma)$ of untwisted outer automorphisms of a right-angled Artin group, thus giving lower bounds on the virtual cohomological dimension. The group $U(A_\Gamma)$ was previously studied…

We build a non-compact, orientable, hyperbolic four-manifold of finite volume that does not admit any spin structure.

We determine the structure of finitely generated groups which are quasi-isometric to symmetric spaces of noncompact type, allowing Euclidean de Rham factors If $X$ is a symmetric space of noncompact type with no Euclidean de Rham factor,…

We prove that for a one-ended hyperbolic graph $X$, the size of the quotient $X/G$ by a group $G$ acting freely and cocompactly bounds from below the number of simplices in an Eilenberg-MacLane space for $G$. We apply this theorem to show…

We construct a finitely generated 2-dimensional group that acts properly on a locally finite CAT(0) cube complex but does not act properly on a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex.

We show that for any non--elementary hyperbolic group $H$ and any finitely presented group $Q$, there exists a short exact sequence $1\to N\to G\to Q\to 1$, where $G$ is a hyperbolic group and $N$ is a quotient group of $H$. As an…

We consider a finitely generated virtually abelian group $G$ acting properly and without inversions on a CAT(0) cube complex $X$. We prove that $G$ stabilizes a finite dimensional CAT(0) subcomplex $Y \subseteq X$ that is isometrically…

We give a simplified approach to the cubulation of small-cancellation quotients of free products of cubulated groups. We construct fundamental groups of compact nonpositively curved cube complexes that do not virtually split.

We say that a group G is a cube group if it is generated by a set S of involutions such that the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G,S) is isomorphic to a cube. Equivalently, G is a cube group if it acts on a cube such that the action is…

We build quasi--isometry invariants of relatively hyperbolic groups which detect the hyperbolic parts of the group; these are variations of the stable dimension constructions previously introduced by the authors. We prove that, given any…

Let $G$ be a group hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups $\{H_\lambda ,\lambda \in \Lambda \} $. We say that a subgroup $Q\le G$ is hyperbolically embedded into $G$, if $G$ is hyperbolic relative to $\{H_\lambda ,\lambda \in…

We construct torsion-free hyperbolic groups without unique product whose subgroups up to some given finite index are themselves non-unique product groups. This is achieved by generalising a construction of Comerford to graphical small…

The mapping class group $\Gamma$ of the complement of a Cantor set in the plane arises naturally in dynamics. We show that the ray graph, which is the analog of the complex of curves for this surface of infinite type, has infinite diameter…
