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…

Based on the work of Farb, Bowditch, and Groves-Manning on discrete relatively hyperbolic groups, we introduce an approach to relative hyperbolicity for totally disconnected locally compact (TDLC) groups. For compactly generated TDLC…

The paper deals with quasigroups having a trivial group of automorphisms and a trivial group of autotopisms. Examples of such quasigroups and methods of their verification are given.

We classify the finite quasisimple groups whose commuting graph is perfect and we give a general structure theorem for finite groups whose commuting graph is perfect.

Given a complex of groups $G(\mathcal{Y}) = (G_\sigma, \psi_a, g_{a,b})$ where all $G_\sigma$ are relatively hyperbolic, the $\psi_a$ are inclusions of full relatively quasiconvex subgroups, and the universal cover $X$ is CAT$(0)$ and…

Brady proved that there are hyperbolic groups with finitely presented subgroups that are not of type $FP_3$ (and hence not hyperbolic). We reprove Brady's theorem by presenting a new construction. Our construction uses Bestvina-Brady Morse…

We give an algorithm for solving equations and inequations with rational constraints in virtually free groups. Our algorithm is based on Rips classification of measured band complexes. Using canonical representatives, we deduce an algorithm…

In this paper we prove a combination theorem for Veech subgroups of the mapping class group analogous to the first Klein-Maskit combination theorem for Kleinian groups in which two Fuchsian subgroups are amalgamated along a parabolic…

We introduce a strong notion of quasiconvexity in finitely generated groups, which we call stability. Stability agrees with quasiconvexity in hyperbolic groups and is preserved under quasi-isometry for finitely generated groups. We show…

This article is dedicated to the characterisation of the relative hyperbolicity of Haglund and Wise's special groups. More precise, we introduce a new combinatorial formalism to study (virtually) special groups, and we prove that, given a…

In this paper,based on the available mathematical works on geometry and topology of hyperbolic manifolds and discrete groups, some results of Freedman et al (hep-th/9804058) are reproduced and broadly generalized. Among many new results the…

An objective of the theory of combinatorial groupoids is to introduce concepts like "holonomy", "parallel transport", "bundles", "combinatorial curvature" etc. in the context of simplicial (polyhedral) complexes, posets, graphs, polytopes,…

In this paper we show that the existence of a non-parabolic local cut point in the Bowditch boundary $\partial(G,\mathbb{P})$ of a relatively hyperbolic group $(G,\mathbb{P})$ implies that $G$ splits over a $2$-ended subgroup. This theorem…

We establish pointwise ergodic theorems for a large class of natural averages on simple Lie groups of real-rank-one, going well beyond the radial case considered previously. The proof is based on a new approach to pointwise ergodic…

We prove that cubulated hyperbolic groups are virtually special. The proof relies on results of Haglund and Wise which also imply that they are linear groups, and quasi-convex subgroups are separable. A consequence is that closed hyperbolic…

We prove that hyperbolic groups with logarithmic separation profiles split over cyclic groups. This shows that such groups can be inductively built from Fuchsian groups and free groups by amalgamations and HNN extensions over finite or…

We call a graph $k$-geodetic, for some $k\geq 1$, if it is connected and between any two vertices there are at most $k$ geodesics. It is shown that any hyperbolic group with a $k$-geodetic Cayley graph is virtually-free. Furthermore, in…

We prove that, if a group is relatively hyperbolic, the parabolic subgroups are virtually nilpotent if and only if there exists a hyperbolic space with bounded geometry on which it acts geometrically finitely. This provides, by use of M.…

This paper gives an exposition of the authors' harmonic deformation theory for 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds. We discuss topological applications to hyperbolic Dehn surgery as well as recent applications to Kleinian group theory.…

Minor changes in the exposition and small corrections on the previous version.
