This paper gives a detailed analysis of the Cannon–Thurston maps associated to a general class of hyperbolic free group extensions. Let F denote a free group of finite rank at least 3 and consider a convex cocompact subgroup Γ ≤ Out(F), i.e. one for which the orbit map from Γ into the free factor complex of F is a quasi-isometric embedding. The subgroup Γ determines an extension EΓ of F, and the main theorem of Dowdall–Taylor [DT14] states that in this situation EΓ is hyperbolic if and only if…

CANNON–THURSTON MAPS
We give an overview of the theory of Cannon-Thurston maps which forms one of the links between the complex analytic and hyperbolic geometric study of Kleinian groups. We also briefly sketch…
Trees, dendrites and the Cannon–Thurston map
When 1 -> H -> G -> Q -> 1 is a short exact sequence of three infinite, word-hyperbolic groups, Mahan Mitra (Mj) has shown that the inclusion map from H to G extends continuously to a map between the…
Conical limit points and the Cannon-Thurston map
Let $G$ be a non-elementary word-hyperbolic group acting as a convergence group on a compact metrizable space $Z$ so that there exists a continuous $G$-equivariant map $i:\partial G\to Z$, which we…
A universal Cannon-Thurston map and the surviving curve complex
Using the Birman exact sequence for pure mapping class groups, we construct a universal Cannon-Thurston map onto the boundary of a curve complex for a surface with punctures we call surviving curve…
Cannon--Thurston maps for CAT(0) groups with isolated flats
Mahan Mitra (Mj) proved Cannon--Thurston maps exist for normal hyperbolic subgroups of a hyperbolic group. We prove that Cannon--Thurston maps do not exist for infinite normal hyperbolic subgroups of…
Algebraic Ending Laminations and Quasiconvexity
We explicate a number of notions of algebraic laminations existing in the literature, particularly in the context of an exact sequence $$1\to H\to G \to Q \to 1 $$ of hyperbolic groups. These…

Propagating quasiconvexity from fibersi
Let $$1 \to K \to G\,\mathop \to \limits^\pi \,Q$$ be an exact sequence of hyperbolic groups. Let Q 1 < Q be a quasiconvex subgroup and let G 1 = π −1 ( Q 1 ). Under relatively mild conditions (e.g.…
Contracting orbits in Outer space
We show that strongly contracting geodesics in Outer space project to parameterized quasigeodesics in the free factor complex. This result provides a converse to a theorem of Bestvina–Feighn, and is…
Limits of conjugacy classes under iterates of hyperbolic elements of Out($\mathbb F$)
For a free group $\mathbb{F}$ of finite rank such that $\text{rank}(\mathbb{F})\geq 3$, we prove that the set of weak limits of a conjugacy class in $\mathbb{F}$ under iterates of some hyperbolic…
