We provide new vanishing and glueing results for relative simplicial volume, following up on two current themes in bounded cohomology: The passage from amenable groups to boundedly acyclic groups and the use of equivariant topology. More…
The study of the existence of free groups in skew linear groups have been begun since the last decades of the 20-th century. The starting point is the theorem of Tits (1972), now often is referred as Tits' Alternative, stating that every…
Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary hyperbolic group and $\mu$ be a probability on $\Gamma$. We study the $\mu$-proximal, stationary actions, also known as boundary actions, of $\Gamma$. In particular, we are interested in the spectrum of…
We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single…
We give a geometric approach to groups defined by automata via the notion of enriched dual of an inverse transducer. Using this geometric correspondence we first provide some finiteness results, then we consider groups generated by the dual…
We study boundaries arising from limits of ratios of transition probabilities for random walks on relatively hyperbolic groups. We extend, as well as determine significant limitations of, a strategy employed by Woess for computing…
Hyperbolic lattices are a new form of synthetic quantum matter in which particles effectively hop on a discrete tessellation of 2D hyperbolic space, a non-Euclidean space of uniform negative curvature. To describe the single-particle…
The goal of this article is to initiate the study of estimates of the non-classical Schottky structure in the discrete subgroups of the projective special linear group over the real numbers degree $2$. In fact, in this paper, we have…
We algebraically characterize free by cyclic groups that have coarse medians, and prove that this is equivalent to the a priori stronger properties of being colourable hierarchically hyperbolic groups and being quasi-isometric to CAT(0)…
In this paper we prove a theorem describing the local topology of the boundary of a hyperbolic group in terms of its global topology: the boundary is locally simply connected if and only if the complement of any point in the boundary is…
One way of picking a "generic" element of a finitely generated group is to pick a random element with uniform probability in a large ball centered on $1$ in the Cayley graph. If the group acts on a $\delta$-hyperbolic space, with at least…
We prove that the abstract commensurator of a nonabelian free group, an infinite surface group, or more generally of a group that splits appropriately over a cyclic subgroup, is not finitely generated. This applies in particular to all…
The quasi-redirecting (QR) boundary is a close generalization of the Gromov boundary to all finitely generated groups. In this paper, we establish that the QR boundary exists as a topological space for several well-studied classes of…
We obtain a homological characterisation of virtually free-by-cyclic groups among groups that are hyperbolic and virtually compact special. As a consequence, we show that many groups known to be coherent actually possess the stronger…
We provide a framework to build periodic boundary conditions on the pseudosphere (or hyperbolic plane), the infinite two-dimensional Riemannian space of constant negative curvature. Starting from the common case of periodic boundary…
We provide sufficient conditions as to when a boundary component of a cocompact convex set in a CAT(0)-space is contractible. We then use this to study when the limit set of a quasi-convex, codimension one subgroup of a negatively curved…
In this note, we prove that a random extension of either the free group $F_N$ of rank $N\ge3$ or of the fundamental group of a closed, orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g\ge2$ is a hyperbolic group. Here, a random extension is one…
The goal of this article is two-fold: in a first part, we prove Azuma-Hoeffding type concentration inequalities around the drift for the displacement of non-elementary random walks on hyperbolic spaces. For a proper hyperbolic space $M$, we…
We are interested in the Guivarc'h inequality for admissible random walks on finitely generated relatively hyperbolic groups, endowed with a word metric. We show that for random walks with finite super-exponential moment, if this inequality…
Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is such that $\{gA:g\in G\}$ has VC-dimension strictly less than $k$. We find algebraically well-structured sets in $G$ which, up to a chosen $\epsilon>0$, describe the structure of $A$ and…
