Largest hyperbolic actions of 3--manifold groups

Abstract

The set of equivalence classes of cobounded actions of a group G on different hyperbolic metric spaces carries a natural partial order. Following Abbott--Balasubramanya--Osin, the group G is H--accessible if the resulting poset has a largest element. In this paper, we prove that every non-geometric 3--manifold has a finite cover with H--inaccessible fundamental group and give conditions under which the fundamental group of the original manifold is H--inaccessible. We also prove that every Croke--Kleiner admissible group (a class of graphs of groups that generalizes fundamental groups of 3--dimensional graph manifolds) has a finite index subgroup that is H--inaccessible.
