In this paper we prove a general structure theorem for relatively hyperbolic groups (with arbitrary peripheral subgroups) acting naive convex co-compactly on properly convex domains in real projective space. We also establish a…

Consider a one-ended word-hyperbolic group. If it is the fundamental group of a graph of free groups with cyclic edge groups then either it is the fundamental group of a surface or it contains a finitely generated one-ended subgroup of…

We study the boundaries of relatively hyperbolic HHGs. Using the simplicial structure on the hierarchically hyperbolic boundary, we characterize both relative hyperbolicity and being thick of order 1 among HHGs. In the case of relatively…

We show that if a group is not virtually cyclic and is hyperbolic relative to a family of proper subgroups, then it has a hyperbolically embedded subgroup which contains a finitely generated non-abelian free group as a finite index…

We show that in general for a given group the structure of a maximal hyperbolic tower over a free group is not canonical: We construct examples of groups having hyperbolic tower structures over free subgroups which have arbitrarily large…

We develop methods to control the first-order theory of groups arising as certain direct limits of torsion-free hyperbolic groups, answering several questions in the literature. We construct simple torsion-free Tarski monsters $\Gamma$…

We construct a 2-generator recursively presented group with infinite torsion length. We also explore the construction in the context of solvable and word-hyperbolic groups.

A group presentation is said to have rational growth if the generating series associated to its growth function represents a rational function. A long-standing open question asks whether the Heisenberg group has rational growth for all…

We prove that a hyperbolic group cannot contain a strictly ascending chain of free quasiconvex subgroups of constant rank.

A one-relator surface group is the quotient of an orientable surface group by the normal closure of a single relator. A Magnus subgroup is the fundamental group of a suitable incompressible sub-surface. A number of results are proved about…

We give an alternative proof to Agol's classification of parabolic generating pairs of non-free Kleinian groups generated by two parabolic transformations. As an application, we give a complete characterisation of epimorphims between…

In this paper we prove several results regarding decidability of the membership problem for certain submonoids in amalgamated free products and HNN extensions of groups. These general results are then applied to solve the prefix membership…

If H is a strongly regular hypergroup, we show that the set of regular relations on H and the set of subhypergroups containing $0_{H}$ are two lattices that are isomorphic to each other. In the next step, we introduce and study the…

In the physics literature, Bilal--Fock--Kogan \cite{BFK} introduced the idea of parabolic reduced flat connections on a surface to give a geometric origin to $W$-algebras. In this paper, we combine these ideas with higher complex…

We classify the groups quasi-isometric to a group generated by finite-order elements within the class of one-ended hyperbolic groups which are not Fuchsian and whose JSJ decomposition over two-ended subgroups does not contain rigid vertex…

In this short note, we prove the existence of weakly malnormal, virtually free, quasiconvex subgroups in any nonelementary hyperbolic group. This extends a result of Ilya Kapovich, where he proved the existence of malnormal quasiconvex…

We study a class of two-generator two-relator groups, denoted $J_n(m,k)$, that arise in the study of relative asphericity as groups satisfying a transitional curvature condition. Particular instances of these groups occur in the literature…

We give a simple combinatorial criterion, in terms of an action on a hyperbolic simplicial complex, for a group to be hierarchically hyperbolic. We apply this to show that quotients of mapping class groups by large powers of Dehn twists are…

We consider a question of Edjvet and Vdovina concerning which groups defined by special presentations are large. For each integer $n \ge 3$, we construct an $n$-generator one-relator presentation whose star graph is the complete bipartite…

We examine the relationship between finitely and infinitely generated relatively hyperbolic groups, in two different contexts. First, we elaborate on a remark from math.GR/0601311, which states that the version of Dehn filling in relatively…
