Cubulating a free-product-by-cyclic group

Abstract

Let G=H1...HkFrG = H_1 * ... * H_k * F_r be a torsion-free group and ϕ\phi an automorphism of GG that preserves this free factor system. We show that when ϕ\phi is fully irreducible and atoroidal relative to this free factor system, the mapping torus Γ=GϕZ\Gamma = G \rtimes_{\phi} \mathbb{Z} acts relatively geometrically on a hyperbolic CAT(0) cube complex. This is a generalisation of a result of Hagen and Wise for hyperbolic free-by-cyclic groups.
