Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary Kleinian group and $H<\Gamma$ a finitely generated, proper subgroup. We prove that if $\Gamma$ has finite co-volume, then the profinite completions of $H$ and $\Gamma$ are not isomorphic. If $H$ has finite…

Let $m_n(G)$ denote the number of maximal subgroups of $G$ of index $n$. An upper bound is given for the degree of maximal subgroup growth of all polycyclic metabelian groups $G$ (i.e., for $\limsup \frac{\log m_n(G)}{\log n}$, the degree…

Using the quaternionic formalism for the description of the group of isometries of hyperbolic $5$-space we consider arithmetically defined $5$-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds which are non-compact but of finite volume. They arise from…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ denote the class of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups. For a group $G$ let $F(G)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotients of $G$. Pickel proved that if $G \in \mathcal{T}$, then the set…

A 2-covering for a finite group $G$ is a set of proper subgroups of $G$ such that every pair of elements of $G$ is contained in at least one subgroup in the set. The minimal number of subgroups needed to 2-cover a group $G$ is called the…

Consider a group G and a family $\mathcal{A}$ of subgroups of G. We say that vertex finiteness holds for splittings of G over $\mathcal{A}$ if, up to isomorphism, there are only finitely many possibilities for vertex stabilizers of minimal…

Let G be a group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) cube complex X. We prove first that G is hyperbolic relative to the collection P of subgroups if and only if the simplicial boundary of X is the disjoint union of a nonempty discrete set,…

The k-limited packing number, $L_k(G)$, of a graph $G$, introduced by Gallant, Gunther, Hartnell, and Rall, is the maximum cardinality of a set $X$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has at most $k$ elements of $X$ in its…

Let P be a locally finite circle packing in the plane invariant under a non-elementary Kleinian group Gamma and with finitely many Gamma-orbits. When Gamma is geometrically finite, we construct an explicit Borel measure on the plane which…

We show that the group of conformal homeomorphisms of the boundary of a rank one symmetric space (except the hyperbolic plane) of noncompact type acts as a maximal convergence group. Moreover, we show that any family of uniformly…

Let $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

Let $G$ be a group hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups $\{H_\lambda ,\lambda \in \Lambda \} $. We say that a subgroup $Q\le G$ is hyperbolically embedded into $G$, if $G$ is hyperbolic relative to $\{H_\lambda ,\lambda \in…

We investigate the palindromic width of finitely generated solvable groups. We prove that every finitely generated $3$-step solvable group has finite palindromic width. More generally, we show the finiteness of palindromic width for…

Tkachenko and Yaschenko [34] characterized the abelian groups G such that all proper unconditionally closed subsets of G are finite, these are precisely the abelian groups G having cofinite Zariski topology (they proved that such a G is…

We prove that, given a torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group G with non-relatively-hyperbolic peripherals, isomorphic finite index subgroups of G have the same index. This applies for instance to fundamental groups of finite-volume…

Given a class $\mathcal{P}$ of groups we say that a group $G$ is fully residually $\mathcal{P}$ if for any finite subset $F$ of $G$, there exists an epimorphism from $G$ to a group in $\mathcal{P}$ which is injective on $F$. It is known…

We study automorphisms of a relatively hyperbolic group G. When G is one-ended, we describe Out(G) using a preferred JSJ tree over subgroups that are virtually cyclic or parabolic. In particular, when G is toral relatively hyperbolic,…

Given a finitely presented group $Q$ and a compact special cube complex $X$ with non-elementary hyperbolic fundamental group, we produce a non-elementary, torsion-free, cocompactly cubulated hyperbolic group $\Gamma$ that surjects onto $Q$,…

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…

We prove that any complete hyperbolic 3--manifold with finitely generated fundamental group, with a single topological end, and which embeds into $\BS^3$ is the geometric limit of a sequence of hyperbolic knot complements in $\BS^3$. In…
