In the vein of Bonfert-Taylor, Bridgeman, Canary, and Taylor we introduce the notion of quasiconformal homogeneity for closed oriented hyperbolic surfaces restricted to subgroups of the mapping class group. We find uniform lower bounds for…

Given a finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma \le \mathrm{Out}(\mathbb{F})$ of the outer automorphism group of the rank $r$ free group $\mathbb{F} = F_r$, there is a corresponding free group extension $1 \to \mathbb{F} \to E_{\Gamma} \to…

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 show that a group admits a non-zero homogeneous quasimorphism if and only if it admits a certain type of action on a poset. Our proof is based on a construction of quasimorphisms which generalizes Poincar\'e--Ghys' construction of the…

We state and prove a corrected version of a theorem of Singerman, which relates the existence of symmetries (anticonformal involutions) of a quasiplatonic Riemann surface $\mathcal S$ (one uniformised by a normal subgroup $N$ of finite…

In this paper, we study a special class of quasi-homomorphisms, i.e. quasi-retractions from a group to its subgroups. We first give some algebraic and geometric properties of quasi-retracts and then propose a theory of quasi-split short…

In this paper, we introduce and characterize a class of parabolically extended structures for relatively hyperbolic groups. A characterization of relative quasiconvexity with respect to parabolically extended structures is obtained using…

We prove the universal lifting theorem: for an $\alpha$-simply connected and $\alpha$-connected Lie groupoid $\gm$ with Lie algebroid $A$, the graded Lie algebra of multi-differentials on $A$ is isomorphic to that of multiplicative…

Given isometric actions by a group G on finitely many \delta-hyperbolic metric spaces, we provide a sufficient condition that guarantees the existence of a single element in G that is hyperbolic for each action. As an application we prove a…

Let X be a hyperbolic surface and H the fundamental group of a hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibers over the circle with fiber X. Using the Birman exact sequence, H embeds in the mapping class group Mod(Y) of the surface Y obtained by removing…

We describe structure of quasihomomorphisms from arbitrary groups to discrete groups. We show that all quasihomomorphisms are 'constructible', i.e., are obtained via certain natural operations from homomorphisms to some groups and…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact oriented connected manifold, and ${\rm Homeo}_0(M,\mu)$ the group of homeomorphisms of $M$ supported away from $\partial M,$ which preserve a Borel probability measure $\mu$ induced by a volume form on $M$, and…

In their theorem from 2006, A. Dranishnikov and J. Smith prove that if $f:G\to H$ is a group homomorphism, then the following formula for asymptotic dimension is true: $\operatorname{asdim} G \leq \operatorname{asdim} H +…

We introduce the co-surface graph $\mathcal{CS}$ of a finitely generated free group $\mathbb{F}$ and use it to study the geometry of hyperbolic group extensions of $\mathbb{F}$. Among other things, we show that the Gromov boundary of the…

We show that any infinite order element $g$ of a virtually cyclic hyperbolically embedded subgroup of a group $G$ is Morse, that is to say any quasi-geodesic connecting points in the cyclic group $C$ generated by $g$ stays close to $C$.…

We show that in an L-annularly linearly connected, N-doubling, complete metric space, any n points lie on a K-quasi-circle, where K depends only on L, N and n. This implies, for example, that if G is a hyperbolic group that does not split…

We prove that for a relatively hyperbolic group G there is a sequence of relatively hyperbolic proper quotients such that their growth rates converge to the growth rate of G. Under natural assumptions, the same conclusion holds for the…

This paper shows that every Gromov hyperbolic group can be described by a finite subdivision rule acting on the 3-sphere. This gives a boundary-like sequence of increasingly refined finite cell complexes which carry all quasi-isometry…

We show that the identity component of the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed oriented surface of positive genus admits many unbounded quasi-morphisms. As a corollary, we also deduce that this group is not uniformly perfect and its…

We resolve the Grothendieck-Serre question over an arbitrary base field $k$: for a smooth $k$-group scheme $G$ and a smooth $k$-variety $X$, we show that every generically trivial $G$-torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski semilocally on $X$.…
