We study abstract finite groups with the property, called property $\hat{s}$, that all of their subrepresentations have submultiplicative spectra. Such groups are necessarily nilpotent and we focus on $p$-groups. $p$-groups with property…

In this paper we study two properties related to the structure of hyperbolic sets. First we construct new examples answering in the negative the following question posed by Katok and Hasselblatt. Let $\Lambda$ be a hyperbolic set, and let…

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 prove that all finitely generated fully residually free groups (limit groups) have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that `strongly converge' to the regular representation of the group. The corresponding statement…

A countable, bounded degree graph is almost finite if it has a tiling with isomorphic copies of finitely many F\o lner sets, and we call it strongly almost finite, if the tiling can be randomized so that the probability that a vertex is on…

We show the existence of a family of manifolds on which all (pointwise or absolutely) partially hyperbolic systems are dynamically coherent. This family is the set of 3-manifolds with nilpotent, non-abelian fundamental group. We further…

We show the following algebraicity result for a complex projective variety $X$ with big representation of $\pi_1$ into a semi-simple algebraic group: There exists a proper subvariety $Z \subset X$ such that for any algebraic curve $C$, any…

We construct new families of groups with property (T) and infinitely many alternating group quotients. One of those consists of subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbf F_{p}[x_1, \dots, x_n])$ generated by a suitable set of tame automorphisms.…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a free-by-free group to be relatively hyperbolic with a cusp-preserving structure. Namely, if $\phi_1, \ldots , \phi_k $ is a collection of exponentially growing outer automorphisms with a…

We generalise the constructions of Brady and Lodha to give infinite families of hyperbolic groups, each having a finitely presented subgroup that is not of type $F_3$. By calculating the Euler characteristic of the hyperbolic groups…

We show that (with one possible exception) there exist strongly dense free subgroups in any semisimple algebraic group over a large enough field. These are nonabelian free subgroups all of whose subgroups are either cyclic or Zariski dense.…

We define a new family of discrete representations of relatively hyperbolic groups which unifies many existing definitions and examples of geometrically finite behavior in higher rank. The definition includes the relative Anosov…

Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…

We construct nonlinear hyperbolic groups which are large, torsion-free, one-ended, and admit a finite $K(\pi,1)$. Our examples are built from superrigid cocompact rank one lattices via amalgamated free products and HNN extensions.

A group $G$ is said to have property (PH') if there exist finitely many hyperbolic spaces $X_1,\cdots,X_n$ on which $G$ acts coboundedly such that the diagonal action of $G$ on the product $\prod_{i=1}^nX_i$ equipped with $\ell^1$-metric is…

In this paper we prove that RAAGs are distinguished from each other by their pro-$p$ completions for any choice of prime $p$, and that RACGs are distinguished from each other by their pro-2 completions. We also give a new proof that…

We show the existence of group-theoretic sections of the "etale-by-geometrically abelian" quotient of the arithmetic fundamental group of hyperbolic curves over $p$-adic local fields relative to a proper and flat model which are…

We show the equivalence of several characterizations of relative hyperbolicity for metric spaces, and obtain extra information about geodesics in a relatively hyperbolic space. We apply this to characterize hyperbolically embedded subgroups…

In the last years, there has been a large amount of research on embeddability properties of finitely generated hyperbolic groups. In this paper, we elaborate on the more general class of locally compact hyperbolic groups. We compute the…

We prove that hyperbolic groups are weakly amenable. This partially extends the result of Cowling and Haagerup showing that lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank one are weakly amenable. We take a combinatorial approach in the spirit…
