A survey on classifying hyperbolic actions of groups

Group Theory 2023-10-17 v1

Abstract

This paper is a survey of results proved in recent years that pertain to classifying cobounded hyperbolic actions of any group GG. In other words, we discuss results that allow us to describe the partially ordered set H(G)\mathcal{H}(G), first introduced in by Abbott-Balasubramanya-Osin. In certain cases, a complete classification of the poset is possible. In cases where this seems out of reach, we provide descriptions of large subsets of the poset. This covers a wide range of groups, including acylindrically hyperbolic groups, nilpotent groups, many solvable groups and ``Thompson-like" groups. We also cover the range of strategies utilized to obtain these classification results. As a result, we produce some new examples of groups with interesting H(G)\mathcal{H}(G) structure.
