We study different notions of quasiconvexity for a subgroup $H$ of a relatively hyperbolic group $G.$ The first result establishes equivalent conditions for $H$ to be relatively quasiconvex. As a corollary we obtain that the relative…

We provide a condition on the links of polygonal complexes that is sufficient to ensure groups acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on such complexes contain a virtually free codimension-1 subgroup. We provide stronger conditions…

A random walk $w_n$ on a separable, geodesic hyperbolic metric space $X$ converges to the boundary $\partial X$ with probability one when the step distribution supports two independent loxodromics. In particular, the random walk makes…

A group G is acylindrically hyperbolic if it admits a non-elementary acylindrical action on a hyperbolic space. We prove that every acylindrically hyperbolic group G has a generating set X such that the corresponding Cayley graph is a…

We show exact dimensionality of harmonic measures associated with random walks on groups acting on a hyperbolic space under finite first moment condition, and establish the dimension formula by the entropy over the drift. We also treat the…

We show sufficient conditions under which the \textsc{BallWalk} algorithm mixes fast in a bounded connected subset of $\Real^n$. In particular, we show fast mixing if the space is the transformation of a convex space under a smooth…

An action of a group $G$ is highly transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $k$-tuples of distinct points for all $k \geq 1$. Many examples of groups with a rich geometric or dynamical action admit highly transitive actions. We prove that if…

Let a discrete group $G$ possess two convergence actions by homeomorphisms on compacta $X$ and $Y$. Consider the following question: does there exist a convergence action $G{\curvearrowright}Z$ on a compactum $Z$ and continuous equivariant…

We make a few observations on the absence of geometric and topological rigidity for acylindrically hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups. In particular, we demonstrate the lack of a well-defined limit set for acylindrical actions on…

Suppose that a group $G$ acts non-elementarily on a hyperbolic space $S$ and does not fix any point of $\partial S$. A subgroup $H\le G$ is said to be geometrically dense in $G$ if the limit sets of $H$ and $G$ coincide and $H$ does not fix…
