We show that any group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually nilpotent subgroups, and does not admit peripheral splittings, contains a quasi-isometrically embedded copy of the hyperbolic plane. In natural situations, the specific…

We show that every countable group H with solvable word problem (=computable group) can be subnormally embedded into a 2-generated group G which also has solvable word problem. Moreover, the membership problem for H < G is also solvable. We…

This note addresses some questions that arise in the series of works by Kyoji Saito on the growth functions of graphs. We study "hyperbolike" graphs, which include Cayley graphs of hyperbolic groups. We generalize some well-known results on…

We show that word-hyperbolic groups satisfy linear isoperimetric functions for all homotopy types of surface diagrams. This generalises the linear isoperimetric functions for disc and annular diagrams.

In many situations it could be interesting to ascertain whether nonparametric regression curves can be grouped, especially when confronted with a considerable number of curves. The proposed testing procedure allows to determine groups with…

Parabolic cut pairs in the boundaries of relatively hyperbolic group are a new and previously unexplored phenomenon. In this paper, we give a way to create examples of relatively hyperbolic groups with parabolic cut pairs on their boundary…

We define an algebraic group over a group $G$ to be a variety - that is, a subset of $G^d$ defined by equations over $G$ - endowed with a group law whose coordinates can be expressed as word maps. In the case where $G$ is a torsion-free…

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 give a complete classification of complex hyperbolic $(n_1, n_2, n_3)$-triangle groups by types defined according to the ellipticity of two particular words of short length. This improves the Schwartz conjecture proved by Grossi.

In this paper, we introduce a geometric statistic called the "sprawl" of a group with respect to a generating set, based on the average distance in the word metric between pairs of words of equal length. The sprawl quantifies a certain…

We give solutions to several decision problems in word hyperbolic groups

Let K be a fine hyperbolic graph and G be a group acting on K with finite quotient. We prove that G is exact provided that all vertex stabilizers are exact. In particular, a relatively hyperbolic group is exact if all its peripheral groups…

We study the word and conjugacy problems in lacunary hyperbolic groups (briefly, LHG). In particular, we describe a necessary and sufficient condition for decidability of the word problem in LHG. Then, based on the graded small-cancellation…

We prove that the compressed word problem in a group that is hyperbolic relative to a collection of free abelian subgroups is solvable in polynomial time.

For a fixed word hyperbolic group we compare different residual properties related to quasiconvex subgroups.

In this article, we give a numerical algorithm to compute braid groups of curves, hyperplane arrangements, and parameterized system of polynomial equations. Our main result is an algorithm that determines the cross-locus and the generators…

In 1996, Gersten proved that finitely presented subgroups of a word hyperbolic group of integral cohomological dimension 2 are hyperbolic. We use isoperimetric inequalities over arbitrary rings to extend this result to any ring. In…

Networks representing many complex systems in nature and society share some common structural properties like heterogeneous degree distributions and strong clustering. Recent research on network geometry has shown that those real networks…

We introduce a coarse flow space for relatively hyperbolic groups and use it to verify a regularity condition for the action of relatively hyperbolic groups on their boundaries. As an application the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for relatively…

We study the full language of quasigeodesics in Cayley graphs, with fixed error constants. We show that, given a non-virtually-cyclic nilpotent group or Baumslag--Solitar group, and any finite generating set, such languages fail to be…
