Groups Acting Acylindrically on Trees

Group Theory 2026-01-16 v6 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We develop a notion of groups that act acylindrically and non-elementarily on simplicial trees, which we call acylindrically arboreal groups. We then prove a complete classification of when graph products of groups and the fundamental groups of certain hyperbolic 33-manifolds are acylindrically arboreal, and use these classifications to provide examples of acylindrically hyperbolic groups that have actions on trees but have no non-elementary acylindrical actions on trees.
