In this paper, we compute an upper bound for the Dehn function of a finitely presented metabelian group. In addition, we prove that the same upper bound works for the relative Dehn function of a finitely generated metabelian group. We also…
Consider the following classes of pairs consisting of a group and a finite collection of subgroups: $\mathcal{C}= \left\{ (G,\mathcal H) \mid \text{$\mathcal{H}$ is hyperbolically embedded in $G$} \right\}$ and $ \mathcal{D}= \left\{…
In this note, we study the notion of random Dehn function and compute an asymptotic upper bound for finitely presented acylindrically hyperbolic groups whose Dehn function is at most polynomial. By showing that in these cases, if the group…
We show the connection between the relative Dehn function of a finitely generated metabelian group and the distortion function of a corresponding subgroup in the wreath product of two free abelian groups of finite rank. Further, we show…
We state and prove a combination theorem for relatively hyperbolic groups seen as geometrically finite convergence groups. For that, we explain how to contruct a boundary for a group that is an acylindrical amalgamation of relatively…
Dehn fillings for relatively hyperbolic groups generalize the topological Dehn surgery on a non-compact hyperbolic $3$-manifold such as a hyperbolic knot complement. We prove a rigidity result saying that if two non-elementary relatively…
It is shown that the compressed word problem for an HNN-extension with base group H and finite associated subgroups is polynomial time Turing-reducible to the compressed word problem for H. An analogous result for amalgamated free products…
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…
Subgroups of direct products of finitely many finitely generated free groups form a natural class that plays an important role in geometric group theory. Its members include fundamental examples, such as the Stallings-Bieri groups. This…
We investigate which free constructions (amalgamated products and HNN-extensions) over word hyperbolic groups produce groups that are again word hyperbolic. A complete answer is obtained for the case when the amalgamated subgroups are…
We examine the relationship between finitely and infinitely generated relatively hyperbolic groups, in two different contexts. First, we elaborate on a remark from math.GR/0601311, which states that the version of Dehn filling in relatively…
We introduce a number of new tools for the study of relatively hyperbolic groups. First, given a relatively hyperbolic group G, we construct a nice combinatorial Gromov hyperbolic model space acted on properly by G, which reflects the…
We generalize one part of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem to arbitrary-rank semisimple Lie groups by showing that certain deformations of extended geometrically finite subgroups of a semisimple Lie group are still extended…
A group theoretic version of Dehn surgery is studied. Starting with an arbitrary relatively hyperbolic group $G$ we define a peripheral filling procedure, which produces quotients of $G$ by imitating the effect of the Dehn filling of a…
We begin an investigation into the behavior of Bowditch and Gromov boundaries under the operation of Dehn filling. In particular we show many Dehn fillings of a toral relatively hyperbolic group with 2-sphere boundary are hyperbolic with…
Given a finitely presented group $G$ and a surjective homomorphism $G\to \mathbb{Z}^n$ with finitely presented kernel $K$, we give an upper bound on the Dehn function of $K$ in terms of an area-radius pair for $G$. As a consequence we…
In this article, we prove a combination theorem for a complex of relatively hyperbolic groups. It is a generalization of Martin's \cite{martin} work for combination of hyperbolic groups over a finite $M_K$-simplicial complex, where $k\leq…
The authors announce the following theorem. Theorem 1. If $G=A*_H B$ is an amalgamated product where $A$ and $B$ are finitely presented and semistable at infinity, and $H$ is finitely generated, then $G$ is semistable at infinity. If…
In this paper, we prove a combination theorem for a relatively acylindrical graph of relatively hyperbolic groups (Theorem 1.1). Here, we are extending the technique of [Tom21] and constructing Bowditch boundary of the fundamental group of…
We classify finitely generated, residually finite automorphism-induced HNN-extensions in terms of the residual separability of a single associated subgroup. This classification provides a method to construct automorphism-induced…
