We prove that, under a mild assumption, any metrizable compactification of a one-ended proper geodesic metric space is connected. As a consequence, we deduce that the boundary, introduced by Durham--Hagen--Sisto, of a one-ended…

We give a proof of an unpublished result of Thurston showing that given any hyperbolic metric on a surface of finite type with nonempty boundary, there exists another hyperbolic metric on the same surface for which the lengths of all simple…

We investigate domains in Minkowski space that are Gromov hyperbolic with respect to a Kobayashi-like metric introduced by Markowitz in the 1980s. For convex, future complete domains, Gromov hyperbolicity is shown to be equivalent to the…

In this article we prove that the set of torsion-free groups acting by isometries on a hyperbolic metric space whose entropy is bounded above and with a compact quotient is finite. The number of such groups can be estimated in terms of the…

Our monograph presents the foundations of the theory of groups and semigroups acting isometrically on Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces. Our work unifies and extends a long list of results by many authors. We make it a point to avoid any…

We prove that a closed negatively curved analytic Riemannian manifold that contains infinitely many totally geodesic hypersurfaces is isometric to an arithmetic hyperbolic manifold. Equivalently, any closed analytic Riemannian manifold with…

This is the first article of a series of our recent works, addressing an open question of Bonk-Heinonen-Koskela [5], to study the relationship between (inner) uniformality and Gromov hyperbolicity in infinite dimensional spaces. Our main…

We show that large classes of non-arithmetic hyperbolic $n$-manifolds, including the hybrids introduced by Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro and many of their generalizations, have only finitely many finite-volume immersed totally geodesic…

We establish a version of a classical theorem of Pommerenke, which is a diameter version of the Gehring-Hayman inequality on Gromov hyperbolic domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Two applications are given. Firstly, we generalize Ostrowski's…

A horoboundary is one of the attempts to compactify metric spaces, and is constructed using continuous functions on metric spaces. It is a concept that includes global information of metric spaces, and its correspondence with an ideal…

In a recent paper Chatterji and Niblo proved that a geodesic metric space is Gromov hyperbolic if and only if the intersection of any two closed balls has uniformly bounded eccentricity. In their paper, the authors raise the question…

We generalize the notion of Gromov boundary to a larger class of metric spaces beyond Gromov hyperbolic spaces. Points in this boundary are classes of quasi-geodesic rays and the space is equipped with a topology that is naturally invariant…

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…

Let $D=\{\rho < 0\}$ be a smooth relatively compact domain in an almost complex manifold $(M,J)$, where $\rho$ is a smooth defining function of $D$, strictly $J$-plurisubharmonic in a neighborhood of the closure $\overline{D}$ of $D$. We…
